The oxidation of enones 6-8 using peroxide or percarbonate and polyleucines as catalysts gave the corresponding diastereomers 9-12 in high yield. The compound 9 was converted into the galactonic acid derivative 16 in five steps and in an overall yield of nearly 60%. Polyleucines are shown to be catalysts powerful enough to overturn the intrinsic stereocontrol in the chosen substrates.
