The anomeric effect, a key chemical phenomenon, arises from multiple interactions, not a single cause. Stabilizing Coulombic attractions between hydrogen and polar substituents are the primary drivers.

Area of Science:

  • Organic Chemistry
  • Computational Chemistry
  • Physical Chemistry

Background:

  • The anomeric effect describes the conformational preference of substituents in cyclic systems.
  • Understanding its origin is crucial for predicting molecular behavior and designing new compounds.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To reexamine the origin of the anomeric effect through integrated experimental and computational methods.
  • To identify and quantify the specific interactions responsible for the axial preference.

Main Methods:

  • Coordinated experimental investigations.
  • Computational modeling and analysis.

Main Results:

  • Multiple, correlated interactions contribute to the anomeric effect.

  • CH···G nonbonded Coulombic attractions between axial substituents and ring hydrogens are experimentally demonstrated.
  • Hyperconjugation is a minor contributor; charge transfer primarily occurs within the H-C-G unit.

    • Conclusions:

    • No single factor uniquely explains the anomeric effect.
    • The anomeric effect predominantly originates from CH···G nonbonded Coulombic attractions.
    • Bond lengthening and favorable Coulombic interactions stabilize the axial conformation.
