55. The resonance effect is defined as the stabilization of a hypothetical localized α-cyano carbanion resulting from the transfer of negative charge from the α-carbon to the nitrile nitrogen. No attempt is made here to distinguish resonance stabilization resulting from the intrinsic stability of delocalized compared with localized charge from that resulting from the intrinsic stability of nitrogen-localized compared with carbon-localized negative charge at the α-cyanomethyl carbanion.
