Scheme 1.

Scheme 1.

Key aspects are as follows: (i) products are obtained in high yield (> 90% ee and as one regio- and diastereomer); (ii) very low catalyst loadings can be employed (as low as 0.01% mol %); and (iii) the reaction outcome is SN2′ displacement of the bridgehead leaving group with inversion.
