While chiral fused-ring tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) and tetrahydro-β-carboline (THβC) scaffolds have attracted considerable interest due to their wide spectrum of biological activities, the synthesis of optically pure chiral fused-ring THIQs and THβCs remains a challenging task. Herein, a group of active imine reductases were identified to convert the imine precursors into the corresponding enantiocomplementary
