Abstract
A short review of hyperconjugation is presented emphasizing carbon-car bon and carbon-hydrogen hyperconjugation in neutral alcohols of differ ent sizes and geometries. Charge distribution and geometrical paramete rs, involving adjacent 'acceptor' carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon bo nds such as those found on methanol ethanol, 2-propanol t-butanol, exo and endo norbornol as well as their tetra-penta- and hexacyclic analo gs in different conformations provide sensitive probes for hyperconjug ation.
