The simplest method to convert an alcohol to an alkyl halide is by reacting the alcohol with concentrated HCl, HBr, or HI. Complete the mechanism and draw the intermediates and final products for the reaction of 1,3-dimethylcyclohexanol with concentrated HCl.

Draw all missing reactants and/or products in the appropriate boxes by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds, including charges where needed. Indicate the mechanism by drawing the electron-flow arrows on the molecules. Arrows should start on an atom or a bond and should end on an atom, bond, or where a new bond should be created.
