The combination of biocatalysis and chemocatalysis can be more powerful than either technique alone. However, combining the two is challenging due to typically very different reaction conditions. Herein, chiral N ‐aryl amines, key features of many active pharmaceutical ingredients, are accessed in excellent enantioselectivity (typically>99.5 % ee ) by combining transaminases with the Buchwald‐Hartwig amination. By employing a bi‐phasic buffer‐toluene system as well as the ligand GPhos, the telescoped cascade proceeded with up to 89 % overall conversion in the presence of excess alanine. No coupling to alanine was observed.
