Trans isomer of 1-bromo-3-tert-butylcyclohexane reacts faster when refluxed with potassium tert-butoxide
Structural isomers are those isomers in which the atoms are completely arranged in a different order but they have the same molecular formulas. These are the molecules having the same kind of molecular formula with different connectivity which is completely depending upon the order they are put together.
Cis isomers are molecules with the same connectivity of atoms. They feature that the same side priority groups are placed on the same side of a double bond. Trans isomers feature molecules with same side priority groups placed on opposite sides of a double bond.
In the above given question the trans isomer of 1-bromo-3-tert-butylcyclohexane reacts faster when refluxed with potassium tert-butoxide, because in trans isomer there is less steric hindrance and therefore it can react easily, where as the cis isomer is having a lot of steric hindrance
