Various enantiopure L ‐arylalanines can be prepared from the corresponding arylaldehydes in one‐pot fashion by a combination of chemical and enzymatic reactions. The reagents used were (triphenyl‐λ 5 ‐phosphanylidene)ethyl acetate (Wittig reaction), porcine liver esterase (PLE), phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) from parsley and ammonia. As examples the following aryl groups were used: phenyl, 4‐chlorophenyl, 3‐fluorophenyl and thiophen‐2‐yl. The pure L ‐enantiomers of phenyl‐, 4‐chlorophenyl‐, 3‐fluorophenyl‐ and thiophen‐2‐ylalanines were obtained after ion‐exchange chromatography in 88, 78, 72 and 91 % yields, respectively, calculated from the arylaldehydes.
