Answer:
Sorry I am not very good at chemistry.
Explanation:
The most stable conformation of
trans-1-tert-butyl-2-methylcyclohexane is the one in which both the
tert-butyl group and the methyl group are located near the equatorial position.
Trans conformation are usually stable at the equatorial position to avoid the
bulkyl group ( the tert-butyl group and methyl group) be together to reduce the
so called Steric hindrance.
