The Role of Through-Bond Stereoelectronic Effects in the Reactivity of 3-Azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes.

Hyperconjugation/conjugation through-bond stereoelectronic effects were studied with density functional theory in the context of 3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes to unravel puzzling differences in reactivity between a vinylogous chloride () and a vinylogous ester ().
