An asymmetric approach to the mC7N epoxyquinone central unit of the manumycin antibiotics is described based on the enantioselective (89% ee) chiral phase transfer epoxidation of a substituted cyclohexenone. The chiral epoxide is employed in the trust syntheses of the title compounds in enantiomerically pure form.
