Catalyzed by the complex generated in situ from iridium and the chiral ferrocene ligand, tert -butyl (4-oxo-4-arylbutyl)carbamate substrates were deprotected and then reductively cyclised to form 2-substituted arylpyrrolidines in a one-pot manner, in which the intramolecular reductive amination was the key step. A range of chiral 2-substituted arylpyrrolidines were synthesised in up to 98percent yield and 92percent ee.

Although the range of biocatalysts available for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure chiral amines continues to expand, few existing methods provide access to secondary amines. To address this shortcoming, we have over-expressed the gene for an (R)-imine reductase [(R)-IRED] from Streptomyces sp. GF3587 in Escherichia coli to create a recombinant whole-cell biocatalyst for the asymmetric reduction of prochiral imines. The (R)-IRED was screened against a panel of cyclic imines and two iminium ions and was shown to possess high catalytic activity and enantioselectivity. Preparative-scale synthesis of the alkaloid (R)-coniine (90 % yield; 99 % ee) from the imine precursor was performed on a gram-scale. A homology model of the enzyme active site, based on the structure of a closely related (R)-IRED from Streptomyces kanamyceticus, was constructed and used to identify potential amino acids as targets for
