Hydrogen bonding Hyperconjugation

In the low-absorptivity region, where the saturation effect is insignificant, the electronic and vibrational contributions to the absorptivity become comparable (Ballester et al., 1964b) and consequently acceptable correlations are obtained only in a very few instances, such as in alkylbenzenes. Actually, the square law has allowed the evaluation of the carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bond hyperconjugation (Baker-Nathan effect) (Ballester and Riera, 1964a March, 1985, p. 65).

Product or reactant stabilizing factors that have been studied thus far include resonance/charge delocalization, solvation, hyperconjugation, intramolecular hydrogen bonding, aromaticity, inductive, jr-donor, polarizability, steric, anomeric, and electrostatic effects, as well as ring strain and soft-soft interactions. Product or reactant destabilization factors are mainly represented by anti-aromaticity, steric effects in some types of reactions, and, occasionally, electrostatic effects. What makes the PNS particularly useful is that it is completely general, mathematically provable,4 and knows no exception. 

This also proves an earlier conclusion on hyperconjugation in an 0CH20 fragment of the 1,3-dioxolane cation radical this conclusion was based on mass spectrometry (To-dres, Kukovitskii et al. 1981). As calculated, the carbon-hydrogen bonds corresponding to 0CH20 in the radical cation are weaker than those in the neutral molecule. For this reason, this site exhibits a maximal probability that deprotonation will result in the formation of the 2-yl radical (Belevskii et al. 1998). In experiments, photoirradiation of 1,3-dioxolane solutions in sulfur hexafluoride at 77 K really leads to formation of the cation radical of 1,3-dioxolane and the l,3-dioxolan-2-yl radical as a result of deprotonation. Consecutive ring... 

Figure 5.12 Hyperconjugation occurs when a carbon-hydrogen bond lies in the same plane as a carbocation s vacant p orbital.

When the alignment of a carbon-hydrogen bond with a vacant p orbital takes place allowing for hyperconjugation, a pseudo-double-bond develops. As illustrated in Figure 5.13, this can be envisioned as a double bond with a closely associated hydrogen ion.
