Popis: Treatment of enantiopure 10-hydroxycamphor with triflic anhydride and triethylamine yields enantiopure bis(10-camphoryl) sulfite, a novel interesting camphor-based C2-pseudosymmetric chiral sulfite with a prochiral sulfonyl group. The process takes place by initial formation of 10camphoryl triflinate, which undergoes an unexpected nucleophilic substitution with displacement of trifluoromethyl anion (attack of a second equivalent of 10-hydroxycamphor on the sulfur atom). The mentioned pseudosymmetric sulfite has also been obtained by standard reaction of 10-hydroxycamphor with thionyl chloride.
