OTHER NAME:
• Baker and Nathan Effect
• Sigma Bond Effect
• No Bond Resonance
DEFINITION:
• The conjugation occur due to sigma bond.
• Conjugation occur due to attachment and detachment of hydrogen to
adjacent carbon attach to electron deficient group.
• Resonance occur due to repeated separation of hydrogen to any alkyl group
is called hyper conjugation.

Hyperconjugation: No bond resonance
• The electrons of the sigma bond between C and H are involved in delocalization.
• In structure to the right: No bond between C and H due to migration of the sigma bond.
Hence Hyperconjugation is also called as ‘NO BOND RESONANCE’.
EXPLANATION:
• In order to explain the hyper conjugation lets us consider a molecule in which three
hydrogen atom are attached with carbon 1 and two hydrogen atom are attached with
carbon 2.
• The c1 are electron sufficient and have high electron density while c2 are electron
deficient and low electron density.
• The c1 are called α-carbon and hydrogen attached are called α-hydrogen.
• C1 have sp3 and c2 have sp2 hybridization.

Salient Features of Hyper conjugation:
• Hyper conjugation is a permanent effect. This concept was introduced by Baker and
Nathan.
• It is a “mild or partial sort of conjugation” and it explains how saturated σ-bonded
segments interact with π-bonded segments i.e. a double or triple bond. It is also called as
delocalization of sigma electrons.
• The sigma bond involved in hyper conjugation is usually a C-C or C-H bond.

• Greater the number of alkyl groups attached to doubly bonded C atoms, greater is the
number of contributing structures and greater is the stability.
• It is also known as no bond resonance or bond sacrificial resonance or “Baker-Nathan
effect” or “sigma-pi (σ-π) conjugation”.’
• Phenomena of hyperconjugation occurs in alkene, alkynes, free radicals (saturated type),
carbonium ions (saturated type) and nitro compounds with α-hydrogen.
CONDITIONS:
• Sigma bond should be weak enough so that electron waves can come out and
enter into the adjacent orbitals.
• It operates only from alpha carbon.
• Bond should be parallel.
• More conjugated hydrogen(s) more is the stability of compound.
TYPES OF HYPERCONJUGATION:
• Sacrificial hyper conjugation
• Isovalant hyper conjugation
• Reverse hyper conjugation
Sacrificial hyper conjugation:
• DEFINITION:
• Hyper conjugation occur in neutral or ground state is called sacrificial hyper conjugation.
• Sacrificial hyper conjugation, also known as heterovalent hyper conjugation, is a type of
hyper conjugation where a contributing structure has one fewer bond than the main
Lewis structure, often involving the donation of electrons from a sigma (σ) bond into a
p-orbital or π-system.
• EXAMPLE:
Isovalant hyper conjugation:
• Isovalent hyper conjugation is a stabilizing interaction in molecules, particularly
carbocations and free radicals, where sigma (σ) bonds, typically C-H bonds, interact with
an adjacent empty or filled p-orbital or π-system.
• The hyper conjugation which is occur due to carbonium ions is called isovalent hyper
conjugation.
Reverse hyper conjugation:
• A type of hyper conjugation in which delocalization of sigma bond toward reverse
direction is called reverse hyper conjugation.
• Reverse hyper conjugation is a situation in which an electron contact is directed from the
pi bond to the sigma bond rather than from the sigma bond to the pi bond.
• Reverse hyper conjugation, also known as negative hyper conjugation.
• In negative hyper conjugation, the electron density flows in the opposite direction (from
π- or p-orbital to empty σ*-orbital) than it does in the more common hyperconjugation
(from σ-orbital to empty p-orbital). In other words, there is a movement of electron
density towards the sigma bond.

PHARMACEUTICAL APPLICATION:
• 1:Alkenes and their stability:
• Stability of alkenes will increase with increase in number of Hydrogen α to unsaturated
system.
• Increasing order of stability of alkenes because of Hyper conjugation:
2:Stability of carbocations (Carbonium ions):
• Carbocations have an electron deficient (positively charged) carbon.
• The empty p orbital of this sp2 carbon can overlap with σ orbital of C – H bond of
adjacent alkyl group (α C – H bond).
• This overlap permits individual electrons to help bind together three nucleus: 2 carbon
and 1 hydrogen.
• The positive charge thus gets dispersed over large volume of space and is stabilized.
Relative stability of carbocations:
• In general, greater the number of alkyl groups attached to a positively charged carbon
atom, the greater is the hyperconjugation interaction and stabilization of the cation.
• Thus, we have the following relative stability of carbocations :

Note:
1. Number of hyper-conjugating structures = number of α-hydrogens.
2. Greater the no. of hyper-conjugating structures, more is the stability of the system.
3:Stability of Free Radicals:
• The stability of free radicals is influenced by hyper conjugation in the same fashion as in
case of carbonium ions.
• The σ-electrons of the α-C-H bond can be delocalized into the p-orbital of carbon
containing an odd electron.
• Due to hyper conjugation, the stability of free radicals also follows the same order as that
of carbonium ions. i.e. methyl < primary < secondary < tertiary

4: Dipole moment:
• Hyper conjugation can increase electron density around atoms, affecting the overall
dipole moment of the molecule.
• As hyper conjugation affects the development of charges, it as well affects the dipole
moment in the molecule. The increase in dipole moment, while hydrogen of
formaldehyde (μ = 2.27 D) is replaced by methyl group, that is acetaldehyde (μ = 2.72
D) can be tends to hyper conjugation that tends to development of charges.
