According to our theoretical studies, the anomeric effect, an stereoelectronic interaction between lone pair and a vicinal antibonding orbital, has shown to contribute decisively for the conformational isomerism of 1‐fluoro‐ N,N ‐dimethylmethanamine ( 1 ) and of its corresponding P, As and Sb analogues ( 2 – 4 ). CX bonds in 2 – 4 are larger than in the parent compound 1 , thus providing a LP X /CF * interaction progressively weaker on going from 1 to 4 . However, such hyperconjugation contributed by more than 1.3 kcal mol −1 for the stabilization of anti conformer in 4 ( θ LPXCF  = 180°), increasing to 24.1 kcal mol −1 in 1 . An isodesmic reaction model supported these findings. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
