A chemist performed a reaction of 2-methylpent-2-ene with HBr in diethyl ether. However, after completing the reaction, she became concerned about the ether she had used as a solvent. Sometimes ethers can contain peroxides which form radicals. Unfortunately, radicals can impact the product of the reaction. Use the ¹H NMR data to determine the result of this reaction. HBr diethyl ether
