Okay, do it for first principles. What is AlCl3? It's a Lewis acid, so it wants electrons. Where will it get electrons from? Either benzene or the double bond over there, one of these two places. Getting electrons from benzene is unlikely. Yeah, because C6H5 or plus, that's unlikely. If these electrons go here, then you get isopropyl group with a plus charge. So that's electrophile. Okay, now that can probably go and attack phenol. I'm sorry, that can go and attack C6H6. So what do you get there? You get isopropyl group and a benzene ring attached to it. Does that make sense? I'm just going with the first principles here. Not sure if this is right, this is wrong. You help me with that.

@iTeachChem
I got what you said but I was kinda skeptical about how'd this go on mechanistically and wasn't able to figure out by myself
Searched up a bit and found this stack exchange question with a really clear answer:)
@Aguilar
