E. Bromination of cyclohexenes initially results in the formation of a diaxial product which usually isomerizes to the more stable diequatorial conformer. Shown below is the bromination of (S)-4-(tert- butyl)cyclohex-1-ene where (1R,2R,4S)-1,2-dibromo-4-(tert-butyl)cyclohexane (diaxial) is formed as the MAJOR product. Show mechanistically how the product is formed and explain why the diequatorial product is not the major product. (Strain of one 1,3-diaxial interaction (kJ/mol): -C(CH3)3 = 11.4; Br = 1.0).

States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
