Process for the reduction of aromatic imines with novel imine reductases (ireds)

Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for producing a chiral aromatic amine comprising the steps of a) providing an aromatic imine, and b) contacting the aromatic imine from step a) with an imine reductase, thereby stereoselectively reducing the aromatic imine with the imine reductase to a chiral aromatic amine and to novel imine reductases which are capable to catalyse the reaction.
