Step 1
The double bond of the alkene acts as a nucleophile and attacks the proton (H+) of the hydrochloric acid. This results in the formation of a carbocation and a chloride ion. Show more…

Addition of HCl to 1-isopropylcyclohexene yields a rearranged product. Propose a mechanism, showing the structures of the intermediates and using curved arrows to indicate electron flow in each step.
Draw the full electron pushing mechanism for the reaction depicted including ALL intermediates (with lone pairs and formal charges). Clearly label the electrophile and nucleophile in each step where appropriate.
