BBAH Primer

The Bent Bond/Antiperiplanar Hypothesis (aka BBAH) is a conceptually novel orbital model for rationalizing the conformation and stereochemical reactivity of organic molecules containing various types of unsaturation. The BBAH is based on the Slater-Pauling bent […]

BBAH paper #8

Thermal Rearrangement of Optically Active Tetradeuterated-2-methoxymethyl-methylenecyclopropane and the Bent Bond/Antiperiplanar Hypothesis The thermolysis of an optically active tetradeuterated 2-methoxymethyl methylenecyclopropane produces a specific ratio of eight possible rearrangement stereoisomers. Despite numerous efforts, this reaction and […]
