    Abstract

    Heterocycles based on piperidine and pyrrolidine are key moieties in natural products and pharmaceutically active molecules. A novel multi-enzymatic approach based on the combination of a lipase with an α,ω-diamine transaminase is reported, opening up the synthesis, isolation and characterisation of a broad range of 2-substituted N-heterocycle alkaloids.
