A new class of chiral ligands bearing one or two benzophospholanes was developed for the purpose of Ru‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation. Although results of the Ru catalysis remain insufficient so far, 1,2‐bis(2‐isopropyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H ‐phosphindol‐1‐yl)benzene (iPr‐BeePHOS: 2b ) has been found to provide high enantioselectivity in the Rh‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of an enamide.
