Abstract

The importance of electrostatic nonconventional hydrogen bonds (NCHBs) to the pseudo-anomeric effect of 4-substituted methoxycyclohexanes is evaluated using theory [natural bond orbital (NBO)] to deconvolute electrostatic from other contributing effects. There is an interesting interplay between sigma CH -> sigma CX* hyper conjugation and the electropositive charge on 3,5-axial hydrogens (Hax). In essence, better sigma CX* (or pi CO*) acceptors increase the charge on 3,5-CHax, which in turn strengthens C delta+Hax center dot center dot center dot delta-OMeNCHB interactions. (AU)
