Figure 1 presents the structures of 4-halo-4-H-pyran and 4-halo-4-H-thiopyran molecules in planar and puckered conformations. Table 1 shows the absolute energy and relative energy values of these molecules. These values show that puckered form is more stable than planar form in all studied molecules. It can be found, the energy difference between two isomers decrease in the presence E = O and S in compared to E = CH2. The most relative energy values are observed in the presence of X = F. In addition, relative energy values decrease with the decrease in electronegativity of X. More stability of the puckered conformation is attributed to vinylogous hyperconjugative AE (Figure 2). Figure 2 presents the canonical (resonance) structure depicting the proposed hyperconjugative interaction. The following sections illustrate this effect.
