Various gamma-substituted (2R)-N-( beta,gamma-enoyl)bornane-10,2-sultams ha
ve been examined in diastereoselective OsO4 syn-dihydroxylation. In contras
t to the C(alpha)-atom, the bornane-10,2-sultam auxiliary exerts a very poo
r influence on the C(beta)-carbon. Spontaneous stereoselective hydrolysis o
f the minor diastereoisomer (3S,4S)-5c opens the way to enantiomerically pu
re building blocks, (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
