Both cis‐ and trans‐but‐2‐ene‐1,4‐diamines have been prepared and efficiently applied as sacrificial cosubstrates in enzymatic transamination reactions. The best results were obtained with the cis‐diamine. The thermodynamic equilibrium of the stereoselective transamination process is shifted to the amine formation due to tautomerization of 5H‐pyrrole into 1H‐pyrrole, achieving high conversions (78–99%) and enantiomeric excess (up to >99%) by using a small excess of the amine donor. Furthermore, when the reaction proceeded, a strong coloration was observed due to polymerization of 1H‐pyrrole. A structurally related compound, cis‐but‐2‐ene‐1,4‐diol, has been utilized as cosubstrate in different alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)‐mediated bioreductions. In this case, high conversions (91–99%) were observed due to a lactonization process. Both strategies are convenient from both synthetic and atom economy points of view in the production of valuable optically active products.
