Question

We expect the signal for the methyl protons adjacent to the diastereotopic hydrogens of 2-bromobutane to be a doublet of doublets as a result of splitting by the nonequivalent diastereotopic hydrogens. The signal,
however, is a triplet. Use a splitting diagram to explain why it is a triplet rather than a doublet of doublets.
