	Resonance (chemistry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Resonance contributors for the same molecule all have the same chemical formula and same sigma framework, but the pi electrons will be distributed differently among the atoms.
		Resonance occurs because of the overlap of orbitals.
		Resonance should also not be confused with a chemical equilibrium or tautomerism which are equilibria between distinct compounds that have different sigma bonding patterns.

		The greater the extent of electron delocalization the greater the resonance stabilization.
		The greatest resonance stabilization energies of all are achieved when the electrons are delocalized over a cyclic system, as in benzene.
		bond lengths, angles, dihedral angles) of a resonance stabilized molecule is intermediate between the expected geometries of the canonical structures.

	EMPHASIS TOPICS FOR THE SECOND EXAM
		Resonance stabilization rises to its most powerful whenthe conjugated system is cyclic and (very important) contains 4n+2 electrons in the cyclic conjugated system, where n=0,1,2,3,---; that is for 2,6,10,14 and so on electrons.
		In the case of benzene, you should be able to write the two resonance structures (called Kekule structures in the case of benzene) and to show by an orbital picture that this is a cyclic array of orbitals.
		Benzylic carbocations and carbanions are similarly resonance stabilized.

	SparkNotes: Organic Covalent Bonding: Resonance
		Resonance is such an important concept to master early on in your organic chemistry education that it's worthwhile to clear up two potential misunderstandings.
		Resonance and equilibrium, and resonance and isomerism are often confused.
		Hence, resonance hybrids are said to be resonance stabilized.

		resonance for nitrogen is further supported by the behavior of carbonic acid and guanidine.
		resonance contributions are found to be much greater for nitrogen than for oxygen, and significantly greater for acidity (anions) than for basicity (cations).

	Carbocations
		There are basically two types of carbocations: those that are not stabilized by resonance effects, and those that are stabilized by resonance (either through lone pair electrons on adjacent atoms or through conjugated pi bonding electrons).
		Note that it is not the sigma bonds that are directly attached to the carbocation that is involved in hyperconjugation; these orbitals are perpendicular to the empty "p" orbitals, and as such, cannot overlap with it.
		Besides the simple alkyl carbocations, another class of carbocations are those that are stabilized by resonance.

	Organic Acids and Bases
		Generally, negative charges are stabilized by allowing the charge to delocalize over a bigger space or over more atoms.
		The conjugate base of cyclohexanol has no resonance structures to stabilize the charge and so is less stable.
		Electons on phenol are stabilized by their delocalization throughout the ring (shown below); cyclohexane has no electron delocalization, and thus is a much weaker acid.

	B
		No contributing resonance form can be written where (+) charge is adjacent to D and be directly stabilized, meta substitution is not favored.
		Normally, the cyclohexadienyl anion formed is not stabilized enough for this reaction to work.
		The benzyl carbocation, benzyl anion, and benzyl radical are stabilized through resonance or electron delocalization in the same way that the allyl carbocation, anion, and radical are stabilized.

	Phenyl as a Substituent
		This is reminiscent of the situation we saw in the addition of HCl to 1,3-butadiene where we encountered resonance stabilization of the carbocation by the pi electrons of the neighboring double bond.
		Since there is no such resonance stabilization available when a simple alkyl group is bonded to the carbocationic carbon, the benzylic carbocation is more stable, is formed faster, and the product formed from it is the only one we see.
		The resonance structures which improve the description of the phenoxide ion show that the electron pair on oxygen is partly moved into a pi bond position between the oxygen and the phenyl carbon it is attached to.

		This is not possible if the beta-carbon develops the positive charge; it therefore will have a higher activation energy for formation than the alpha carbon will.
		The two electrons of the remaining pi bond are distrbuted over three 2p orbitals thereby delocalizing the positive charge of the allyl system.
		Resonance of the pi electrons results in two carbon atoms sharing the positive charge.

	Glossary for Web Pages
		Hyperconjugation is important in stabilizing carbocations and in stabilizing substituted alkenes.
		Protic solvents are particularly good at stabilizing anions by hydrogen bonding, thereby lowering their reactivity.
		The resonance structures themselves differ only in the positions of their electrons, not their nuclei.

		Another important aspect of the lactam ring is the lack of resonance of the amide bond.
		A carbonyl-tertiary amide bond is usually stabilized by resonance: the nitrogen is able to ''turn over'' and feed its lone pair of electrons into the electrophilic carbonyl group (Figure 2).
		This stabilization reduces the electrophilic character of the carbonyl group, thusly providing a more stable carbonyl-amide bond.

		When conjugation is involved, the absorbance for a particular group may be shifted to lower wavenumbers due to resonance.
		The absorbance for the carbonyl group is shift to approximately 20 cm-1 lower due to the resonance stabilized bond.
		The resonance form in the following illustration shows a longer C-O bond which should help explain the shift to lower wavenumbers.

		It is very important to note that this carbocation is resonance stabilized by the remaining 4 electrons of the pi cloud.
		energetically speaking, the transition state corresponds to the attack on the electrophile, there is a slight trough where the resonance stabilized carbocation intermediate resides, another transition state as the proton is abstracted and finally a plateau corresponding to the final product.
		The acylium ion can be resonance stabilized by a lone pair from oxygen giving a carbon oxygen triple bond and a positive charge on the oxygen.

		Unshared electrons resulting in negative charge generation are best stored on highly electronegative elements (e.g., halogen, oxygen) or in highly resonance stabilized systems (especially ones containing electronegative elements such as oxygen or nitrogen).
		The carbanion will leave only if the negative charge ion carbon is resonance stabilized by an electronegative atom or group.
		Look for sites where electrons can be stabilized by resonance (e.g., from aromatic systems or enol(ate) systems if possible.)

		B Since N is less electronegative than O, the amino group of the amino alcohol will be protonated before the hydroxyl group.
		Thus, C is preferred over B. Protonation of the carbonyl oxygen generates ion A, which is a resonance stabilized ion and should therefore be formed more readily than B which is not stabilized by resonance.

		Explain your answer, drawing resonance structures where appropriate.
		The diketone (2,4-pentanedione) is more acidic than the monoketone (acetone), as it yields a more extensively delocalized conjugate base:
		The ether is least acidic; its most acidic hydrogens are the CH ones, because the conjugate base can be stabilized by inductive electron-withdrawal by two electronegative substituents rather than just one.
