The present disclosure describes substituted α-L-bicyclic nucleoside analogs, oligomeric compounds prepared therefrom and methods of using the oligomeric compounds. More particularly, substituted α-L-bicyclic nucleoside analogs are provided, having one or more chiral substituents, that are useful for enhancing properties of oligomeric compounds including binding affinity. In some embodiments, the oligomeric compounds provided herein hybridize to a portion of a target RNA resulting in loss of normal function of the target RNA.
