Driving the machinery : A biocatalytic redox‐neutral cascade for the preparation of terminal primary amines from primary alcohols at the expense of ammonia has been established in a one‐pot one‐step method (see picture). Applying this artificial biocatalyst network, long‐chain 1,ω‐alkanediols were converted into diamines, which are building blocks for polymers, in up to 99 % conversion.
