Abstractmagnified imageA set of novel phosphine‐phosphoramidite ligands possessing two elements of chirality have been prepared through a modular synthetic approach. The ligands (11bS)‐N‐[2‐(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]‐N‐[(S)‐1‐phenylethyl]dinaphtho[2,1‐d:1′,2′‐f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin‐4‐amine [(Sa,Sc)‐1a] and (11bR)‐N‐[2‐(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]‐N‐[(S)‐1‐(1‐naphthyl)ethyl]dinaphtho[2,1‐d:1′,2′‐f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin‐4‐amine [(Sa,Sc)‐1b] are unique in providing enantioselectivities ≥96% ee and ≥94% ee, respectively, in mechanistically distinct hydrogenations of CC, CN and CO double bonds in combination with three different transition metals (rhodium, iridium, and ruthenium, respectively). Particularly remarkable are the enantiomeric excesses up to 97% achieved in the iridium‐catalyzed hydrogenation of 2‐substituted quinolines, where (11bS)‐N‐[2‐(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]‐N‐[(S)‐1‐(naphthalen‐1‐yl)ethyl]‐8,9,10,11, 12,13,14,15‐octahydrodinaphtho[2,1‐d:1′,2′‐f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin‐4‐amine [(Sa,Sc)‐2] proved to be the most selective ligand. Substantially lower ees were obtained with the mismatched diastereomer (Ra,Sc)‐1b and with the N‐phenyl‐substituted ligand 1c, missing a second element of chirality.
