Abstract

Racemic amines are enzymically converted by enantioselective carbamation to produce to chiral carbamates. Simple homocarbonates employed as substrates. The chiral carbamates may then be deprotected to yield the original amine in a chiral form. Alternatively, the chiral carbamates may be reduced so as to produce methylated chiral amines.
