Bent Bonds (τ) and the Antiperiplanar Hypothesis – the Chemistry of Cyclooctatetraene and other C8H8Isomers The fascinating chemistry of cyclooctatraene, including its propensity for ring inversion, bond shifting, and valence isomerization, is analyzed by the […]

Bent Bonds and the Antiperiplanar Hypothesis and the Reactivity at the Anomeric Center in Pyranosides A solo contribution from the P. Deslongchamps group. The stereoselectivity of nucleophilic addition on oxocarbenium ions derived from the bicyclic […]

Bent Bonds and the Antiperiplanar Hypothesis – A Simple Model to Rationalize [1,3]-Sigmatropic Alkyl Shifts The bent bond/antiperiplanar (BBA) hypothesis has been applied to the analysis of [1,3]-sigmatropic alkyl shifts. These thermal rearrangements, for which […]

Deslongchamps, Bent Bonds and the Antiperiplanar Hypothesis as […]

Bent Bonds, the Antiperiplanar Hypothesis and the Theory of Resonance. A Simple Model to Understand Reactivity in Organic Chemistry The paper that started it all. By taking into consideration bent bonds (τ-bonds, tau-bonds), the antiperiplanar […]
