A new, chiral bisphosphine, (3R,4R)-3,  4-bis(diphenylphosphino)tetrahydrofuran (4), is synthesized in three steps  from (R,R)-tartaric acid esters. With rhodium(I) complexes of  4enantiomeric excesses of 54 to 97% are obtained on catalytic  hydrogenation of 2-(acetylamino)acrylic acid, 2-(acetylamino)cinnamic acids and  itaconic acid. The applied substrate/catalyst ratios were between 250: 1 and  11000:1.
