Two irons for a smoother finish : An NAD(P)H model was regenerated readily in situ by iron‐catalyzed reduction with molecular hydrogen. The subsequent biomimetic reduction of α‐keto‐/ α‐iminoesters proceeded smoothly in the presence of an iron‐based Lewis acid (LA) to provide α‐hydroxyesters and amino acid esters in good to excellent yields (see scheme; NAD(P) + =nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate), TM=transition metal).
