Abstract	Orbital interactions of the types, σ-π, σ-π, σ-π and σ-π are investigated for the rotamers of α-X-acetones (X = F and Cl) using STO-3G method of calculation. It was found that the interactions are possible only in gauche forms, and the σ-π interactions are in general greater than the σ-π interactions due to the greater overlap, in spite of the greater energy gap involved; the greater σ-π interaction causes greater lowering of π* level relative to the lowering of σ in the σ-π interaction so that both σ-π* and n-π* interactions are enhanced in the gauche forms. The extra stability of the gauche form and the red shift in the n-π* transition are thus found to be natural corollaries of the greater σ-π interaction in the gauche forms.
