Exploring a collection of naturally occurring imine reductases (IREDs) identified two stereocomplementary IREDs with reducing activity toward sterically hindered 2-aryl-substituted pyrrolines. Using (R)-selective ScIR and (S)-selective SvIR, various chiral 2-aryl-substituted pyrrolidines with excellent enantioselectivity (>99% ee) were stereocomplementarily synthesized in good yield (60-80%), demonstrating the feasibility of IREDs for generating pharmaceutically relevant chiral 2-aryl-substituted pyrrolidine intermediates.
