[reaction: see text] An ortho-substituted BIPHEP ligand, o-Ph-hexaMeO-BIPHEP (1), is designed and synthesized. Compared with chiral biaryl phosphines without ortho substituents such as BINAP and MeO-BIPHEP, o-Ph-hexaMeO-BIPHEP shows higher enantioselectivities in Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation of cyclic enamides.
