THE recent statement by Kreevoy and Eyring 1, based on theoretical considerations, that the hyperconjugation energy is approximately proportional to the number of α-hydrogen atoms, is supported by an ...

THE replacement of the hydrogen of a methine group in a number of conjugated organic compounds by an alkyl radical causes a batho- or hypso-chromic shift in the principal absorption maxima. This ...

It's an old organic chemistry tenet that conjugated polyenes, with their alternating double and single bonds, are more stable than their unconjugated isomers. An abundance of lab experiments and ...
