Stereoselective catalysts for the Pictet–Spenglerreaction of tryptamines and aldehydes may allow a simple and fast approach to chiral 1‐substituted tetrahydro‐β‐carbolines. Although biocatalysts have previously been employed for the Pictet–Spenglerreaction, not a single one accepts benzaldehyde and its substituted derivatives. To address this challenge, a combination of substrate walking and transfer of beneficial
