Propose a mechanism for the first step only in the formation of the thermodynamic product of this reaction. Use arrows to show the reaction between the allylic alcohol and hydrogen iodide. Change the product structure to the structure of the intermediate formed from this first step. Include all nonzero formal charges and lone pairs of electrons. Have you remembered to include all nonzero formal charges and lone pairs of electrons? Hydrogen iodide is a strong acid. What site(s) in the starting molecule can react with this strong acid? Have you remembered to include all nonzero formal charges and lone pairs of electrons?
