Dynamic and successful : The asymmetric synthesis of 2‐amino‐1‐phenylethanol was achieved by aminomethylation of benzaldehyde in the presence of the two enzymes L ‐threonine aldolase and L ‐tyrosine decarboxylase in a novel one‐pot, two‐enzyme process (see scheme). A modified method with three enzymes led to the enantioenriched amino alcohol in very high yield.
