Synthesis of Chiral Sulfinic Acids: Sodium(1S-exo)-2-Bornanesulfinate

Abstract
A convenient synthesis of the title compound from (-)-borneol, as a model applicable to that of other chiral, sensitive sulfinic acids, via the nucleophilic cleavage of the corresponding phthalimidomethyl sulfone, is described.
