Abstract

Atropisomeric heterobiaryl primary amines are of significant interest in both organic and pharmaceutical chemistry. A series of transaminases have been employed to synthesize these valuable compounds with high yields (up to 98% conversion) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to ≥99% ee) via dynamic kinetic resolution of the corresponding heterobiaryl aldehydes. This process features a Lewis acid–base interaction strategy to facilitate labilization of the stereogenic axis.
