The stereoselectivity of nucleophilic addition on oxocarbenium ions derived from the bicyclic pyranoside model with or without a C-OR group can be understood through the use of the bent-bond and the antiperiplanar hypothesis in conjunction with the concept of hyperconjugation as an alternative interpretive model of structure and reactivity.

The properties and stereochemical reactivity of cyclobutadiene, benzene, cyclooctatetraene, and the [10]- to [14]annulenes can be uniformly rationalized through the bent bond/antiperiplanar hypothesis (BBAH). This new orbital model considers electronic delocalization between pyramidal diradical resonance structures and associated bent bonds, as it applies to aromatic, nonaromatic, and antiaromatic molecules.

Glycosylation reactions were performed on a series of bicyclic C-substituted pyranoside models to isolate and analyze factors that control the glycosylation stereoselectivities observed in carbohydrates. The bent bond/antiperiplanar hypothesis (BBAH) orbital model rationalizes all of these results by considering hyperconjugation interactions between groups at C and the two τ bonds (bent bonds) of oxocarbenium ion intermediates formed under the glycosylation conditions. According to the BBAH, nucleophiles add to oxocarbenium intermediates by S2-like antiperiplanar displacement of the weaker of their two τ bonds.

The glycosylation stereoselectivities for a series of bicyclic furanoside models have been carried out in the presence of weak nucleophiles. These results were analyzed through the bent bond/antiperiplanar hypothesis (BBAH) orbital model to test its validity. According to the BBAH, incoming nucleophiles displace one of the two bent bonds of bicyclic oxocarbenium ion intermediates in an antiperiplanar fashion.

The conformational itineraries taken by carbohydrate residues in the catalytic subsite of retaining glycoside hydrolases (GHs), harness the link between substrate conformation and reactivity. GHs' active sites may be described as a combination of subsites dedicated to the binding of individual sugar residues and to catalysis. The three-dimensional structure of GH:carbohydrate complexes has demonstrated that carbohydrate ring conformation changes in an ordered manner during catalysis.

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 other similar transformations have defied mechanistic interpretation until now. The direct application of the bent bond/antiperiplanar hypothesis (BBAH) to this reaction produces a mechanistic model that rationalizes all the observed reaction kinetics and products.
