The renewable tertiary ( S )‐norcamphor‐based hydroperoxide 3 has been efficiently obtained by a simple 4‐step route. Remarkably, complete diastereocontrol was observed in the hydroperoxidation step. This oxidant, when used in the Ti‐catalyzed asymmetric sulfoxidation, showed to be as reactive as previously reported hydroperoxide 2 , but more importantly, high chemoselectivity and improved asymmetric induction were achieved. The synthetic approach used offers the opportunity for designing a variety of functionalized and potentially more efficient norcamphor‐based hydroperoxides. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
