Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The stepwise mechanism for the reaction of pseudoionone with sulfuric acid has to be proposed.

Concept introduction:

The electrophilic addition reaction refers to the reaction in which first an electrophile attacks the substrate molecule across the C=C bond and results in the formation of carbocation.

The carbocation further reacts with electron rich molecule to form a covalent bond in the final product. In such reactions, the breaking of π bond results in the formation of two σ bonds.
