If addition of HBr to propene follows the rule that says that the electrophile adds to the
sp
2
carbon that is
bonded to the most hydrogens, the product of the reaction will give an NMR spectrum with two signals
(a doublet and a septet). If addition of HBr does not follow the rule, the product will give an NMR spec-
trum with three signals (two triplets and a multiplet).

Bromomethane gives a signal at 2.7 ppm for its three methyl protons, and 2-bromo-2-methylpropane gives
a signal at 1.8 ppm for its nine methyl protons. If equal amounts of each were present in a solution, the
ratio of the hydrogens (and, therefore, the ratio of the relative integrals) would be 3:1. Because the relative
integrals are 1:6, there must be an 18-fold greater concentration of bromomethane in the mixture.
