Let X be a Banach space, u ∈ X** and K, Z two subsets of X**. Denote by d(u,Z) and d(K,Z) the distances to Z from the point u and from the subset K respectively. The Krein-Smulian Theorem asserts that the closed convex hull of a weakly compact subset of a Banach space is weakly compact; in other words, every w*-compact subset K ⊂ X** such that d(K,X) = 0 satisfies d(cow*(K),X) = 0.We extend this result in the following way: if Z ⊂ X is a closed subspace of X and K ⊂ X** is a w*-compact subset of X**, thend(cow*(K),Z) ≤ 5d(K,Z).Moreover, if Z ∩ K is w*-dense in K, then d(cow*(K),Z) ≤ 2d(K,Z). However, the equality d(K,X) = d(cow*(K),X) holds in many cases, for instance if l1⊄ X*, if X has w*-angelic dual unit ball (for example, if X is WCG or WLD), if X = L1(I), if K is fragmented by the norm of X**, etc. We also construct under CH a w*-compact subset K ⊂ B(X**) such that K ∩ X is w*-dense in K, d(K,X) = 1/2 and d(cow*(K),X) = 1.
