Bornane-10,2-sultam 1 is stereoselectively converted by DMAP-assisted sulfinylation to diastereomerically pure (2R)-N-[(R)-p-tolylsulfinyl]-bornane-10,2-sultam 2 in 77% yield. The crystalline sulfinylating agent 2 reacts with a variety of nucleophiles to afford sulfoxides 3 and sulfinimines 5 in excellent yields and enantioselectivities.
