Explanation:

Question is incomplete, however, I found this question on several sites and most of them, have the same substances, so I'm gonna do it with that example to give you a hint of how to do it with yours, in case, it's a different substance.

First, we have a ketone and another substance, with MgCl. This is tipically the Grignard reagent, and this is often used to produce a tertiary alcohol.

The mechanism and final product is the following (See attached picture).

Dehydration is removal of water.

In alcohols dehydration is α-β elimination or 1,2 elimination, it means the hydroxyl group will be removed from α-carbon while the hydrogen will be removed from near by carbon.

In case of neopentyl alcohol there is no β hydrogen present on the β carbon [as shown in figure].

The only possible way for it to undergo dehydration is by rearrangement.

The process or mechanism can be understood as:

so the chief product is 2-methylbut-2-ene
