Abstract	The conformations of symmetrically hindered benzoquinone methides (=BMs), unsymmetrically hindered BMs, and simple BM have been optimized using density functional theories. It is shown that the optimized geometries of symmetrically hindered BMs are fully in accord with those expected for the plannar conformations, in which the effective hyperconjugation of symmetrically substituted dialky groups with ring can occur. Relative stabilization energies calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G^//B3LYP/6-31^ level by means of isodesmic equation are 2.8-5.3 kcal/mol enhanced for symmetrically hindered BMs. This finding provides a rationalization for the previous experimental results that the BM formation is depend upon the substituents.
