What is the type of conjugation for the given reaction ?
R₃Si-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂⁺ ⇌ R₃Si⁺ +

Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
A σ bond (C-Si) shifts into the empty p orbital at a carbon that is two carbons away, and the cation closes to a cyclopropane ring. A σ bond is delocalised by another σ bond, so this is a σ-σ interaction : homohyperconjugation.
