Question:

A Friedel-Crafts alkylation is an electrophilic aromatic substitution in which the electrophile (E⁺) is a carbocation. In previous chapters, we have seen other methods of forming carbocations, such as protonation of an alkene using a strong acid. The resulting carbocation can also be attacked by a benzene ring, resulting in alkylation of the aromatic ring. With this in mind, draw a mechanism for the following transformation:
