Enantiopure monocyclic amines can be accessed by kinetic resolution via deamination of the racemic amines catalyzed by ω-transaminases. For instance, optically pure pyrrolidin-3-amines ‌28‌ (n = 1) and piperidin-3-amines ‌28‌ (n = 2) are successfully prepared using such an enzyme-catalyzed strategy. The cyclic amines are attractive synthons for the preparation of a broad range of biologically active pharmaceuticals.[‌80‌–‌84‌] Whereas alternative chemical strategies such as substitution, cyclization, and classical resolution of the racemate with a resolving agent often include multiple steps or lack in selectivity, a kinetic resolution catalyzed by a very selective enzyme is a powerful alternative route.
