A substituted bishomocubane structure colloquially known as a Thiele cage was previously
observed to undergo an alkyl-extended pinacol-type rearrangement, wherein 1, 2-aryl …

Glycosylation reactions were performed on a series of bicyclic C2-substituted pyranoside
models to isolate and analyze factors that control the glycosylation stereoselectivities …

The properties and stereochemical reactivity of cyclobutadiene, benzene, cyclooctatetraene,
and the [10]-to [14] annulenes can be uniformly rationalized through the bent …

Di (cyclopentadienecarboxylic acid) dimethyl ester (DCPDME) is a potential dynamic
covalent system. When such molecules are used as dynamic crosslinkers in polymers …

Polydicyclopentadiene (PDCPD) is a ring-opening metathesis polymer derived from
dicyclopentadiene. Valued for its light weight, excellent material strength, and good …

The thermolysis of an optically active tetradeuterated 2-methoxymethyl
methylenecyclopropane produces a specific ratio of eight possible rearrangement …

The thermal conversion of azulene, naphthalene, norcaradiene, and polycyclic analogues
can be rationalized through the Bent Bond/Antiperiplanar Hypothesis (BBAH) orbital model …

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 …

We recently showed that a simple radical-stabilization algorithm outperformed traditional
frontier-molecular orbital methods for rationalizing the outcome of the venerable Thiele's …

The bent bond/antiperiplanar hypothesis (BBAH) is a useful orbital model explaining the
conformational analysis and chemical reactivity of butadiene, the regioselective …
