%X A homoanomeric effect is found to stabilize the 1,2-dimethoxyethyl radical (CH3O&#8211;&#x010A;H&#8211;CH2OCH3) in a conformation in which the singly-occupied orbital at the radical centre is approximately coplanar with the p-type lone pair on the &#945;-oxygen and with the &#946;-C&#8211;O bond. The magnitude of this stabilization is predicted to be &#126;10&#8211;12 kJ mol&minus;1 at the G3(MP2)-RAD and CBS-RAD levels of theory.
