An asymmetric synthesis of the highly oxygenated cyclopentanoid antibiotic (+)-kjellmanianone (1) has been achieved.The key step entailed enantioselective hydroxylation of the prochiral sodium enolate of β-keto ester 2 with the new, enatiomerically pure N-sulfonyloxaziridine 7b, affording 1 in 68.5percent ee (60percent yield).Possible transition state structures for the asymmetric oxidation are evaluated.
