A route to the title compounds in > 99 % enantiomeric excess was achieved from sequential diastereoselective alkylations of chiral, non-racemic bicyclic lactams 5 (3-alkyl-7a-methyl-5-oxo-hexahydropyrrolo[2,1-b]oxazoles). An intramolecular addition of the organolithium derivative 9 [3,6-dialkyl-6-(4-lithiobutyl)-7a-methyl-5-oxo-hexahydropyrrolo[2,1-b]oxazoles], gave, after hydrolysis, the diketone 11 [2-alkyl-2-(2-oxopropyl)cyclohexanone], which was cyclized to the optically pure title compounds 12-14.
