Two new chiral cationic rhodium(I) complexes derived from electron-rich dicyclohexylphosphine-phosphite ligands were prepared from enantiopure Sharpless epoxy ethers. The best-performing catalyst system, which bears a less bulky methyl ether moiety, exhibited remarkably high enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee) and reactivity (up to >2500 TON) in asymmetric hydrogenation reactions of various functionalized
