Might he be just a purification process??? It can't be dehydration reaction cuz the acid is too dilute!!! It might be a hydration reaction or maybe a rearrangement reaction which seems unlikely!!! I'd still say him to be a purification reaction!!!Lutesium...

Ok but I really don't see a reaction in here that'd occur with trace amount of acid here!!! Dehydrative cyclization (to the BenzoPentanone) with the phenolic -OH group being eliminated which is so unlikely!!!
