A highly enantioselective one pot, novel biocatalytic method for the asymmetric reduction of arylimines is reported. Treatment of arylimines with Candida parapsilosis ATCC 7330 in aqueous medium produces the enantiomerically pure (R)-secondary amines in moderate to good yields (55–80%) with excellent enantiomeric excesses (95–>99%).
