Made up out of air : The highly enantioselective oxidation of 3,4‐substituted meso ‐pyrrolidines to Δ 1 ‐pyrrolines is reported. The reaction is catalyzed by monoamine oxidase from Aspergillus niger (MAO‐N D5) and utilizes molecular oxygen from air as the stoichiometric oxidant. The corresponding Δ 1 ‐pyrrolines serve as useful building blocks for the synthesis of L ‐proline analogues and α‐amino nitriles of high enantiomeric purity.
