The epr spectral parameters for some [Formula: see text] radicals have been measured over a range of temperatures. These radicals are probably non-planar at nitrogen. Their OR groups are in the eclipsed position with respect to the N 2pz orbital, a conformational preference which is attributed to a combination of steric factors and the anomeric effect. For [Formula: see text] the H hyperfine splittings (hfs) are of unusually small magnitude. It is pointed out that all other known [Formula: see text] also have anomalously low H hfs. It is suggested that this is due to the anomeric effect which not only promotes the eclipsed conformation but also causes the OR group to bend towards the semioccupied orbital, thereby moving H and R2 towards the nodal plane of this orbital.

Infrared group frequency correlations are presented which aid in spectra-structure identification of styrenes, α-methylstyrenes, and related compounds. The vinyl and phenyl groups in styrene are coplanar in only those cases where atoms or groups such as Cl and CH3 are not substituted in the 2,6-positions, and the isopropenyl and phenyl groups in α-methylstyrenes are coplanar in only those cases where atoms or groups such as Cl and CH3 are not substituted in one ortho-position. Steric factors prevent the vinyl and phenyl groups from being coplanar in styrene substituted with atoms or groups in at least the 2,6-positions, and steric factors also prevent the isopropenyl and phenyl groups from being coplanar in 2-substituted α-methylstyrenes.

Conformational behavior of two C-disaccharides, containing D-glucopyranose moiety at the non-reducing end and L- or D-2-deoxy-arabino-hexopyranose moiety at the reducing end, has been studied using MM3 calculations and NMR experiments. The obtained results show that the conformational preference around the C-glycosidic bond is the same in both compounds and corresponds with the exo-anomeric effect. On the other hand, both compounds differ markedly in the conformational arrangement around the C-aglycone bond where the population of conformers is controlled by 1,3-diaxial-like interactions.

This review describes how resonance in amides is greatly affected upon substitution at nitrogen by two electronegative atoms. Nitrogen becomes strongly pyramidal and resonance stabilisation, evaluated computationally, can be reduced to as little as 50% that of N,N-dimethylacetamide. However, this occurs without significant twisting about the amide bond, which is borne out both experimentally and theoretically. In certain configurations, reduced resonance and pronounced anomeric effects between heteroatom substituents are instrumental in driving the HERON (Heteroatom Rearrangement On Nitrogen) reaction, in which the more electronegative atom migrates from nitrogen to the carbonyl carbon in concert with heterolysis of the amide bond, to generate acyl derivatives and heteroatom-substituted nitrenes. In other cases the anomeric effect facilitates SN1 and SN2 reactivity at the amide nitrogen.

The 13C and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance data of 3-oxycyclohexenes, 2-oxymethylenecyclohexanes, and 1-oxytetralins show (i) that the pseudoaxial preference is larger for the acetoxyl group than for the methoxyl group in 3-oxycyclohexenes, (ii) that the methoxyl and the acetoxyl groups have the same pseudoaxial preference in 1-oxytetralins, and (iii) that in 2-oxymethylenecyclohexanes, the acetoxyl group prefers the equatorial orientation whereas the methoxyl group prefers to be axial. These results are interpreted in terms of the orbital picture (π–σ* stabilization of the axial conformer) of the generalized anomeric effect to which is opposed a conformational effect termed the "unsaturation effect" in 2-acetoxymethylenecyclo-hexane and probably also, but to a much smaller extent, in 1-acetoxytetralin. The results also show that cis and transtert-butyl analogues of 3-oxycyclohexenes do not represent the true limit conformers whereas cis and trans 4-tert-butyl derivatives of 2-oxymethylenecyclohexanes do not differ drastically from the limit conformers.

Oxygen substitution in 2-methoxytetrahydropyran by sulphur in 2-methoxythiane approximately doubles the anomeric effect, which slows down enzymatic processing of 2-methoxythiane.
