Coupling drives the rotation : A theoretical study of proton‐transfer dynamics of 5‐methyltropolone (5MTR) has identified a long‐range mechanical interaction. Methyl group rotation can be driven by proton transfer because of coupling between hyperconjugation and tautomerization within 5MTR (see HOMO–LUMO interaction). A quantum‐mechanical mechanism is presented in which this molecule undergoes a conformational change.
