FIELD: organic chemistry, chemical technology. SUBSTANCE: amines containing amino- group bound with the secondary chiral-substituted carbon atom can be enriched enantiomorphously by effect of omega-amino acid transaminase. This enzyme converts preferably one of two chiral forms to ketone. Method can be used for stereoselective synthesis of a single chiral form ketones without significant formation of other form. EFFECT: improved method of enrichment and synthesis. 9 cl, 9 tbl
