Inspired by the unique character of enzymes, we developed novel chiral SPO (secondary‐phosphine‐oxide) ligand (SPO‐Wudaphos) which can enter into both ion pair and H‐bond noncovalent interactions. The novel chiral SPO‐Wudaphos exhibited excellent results in the asymmetric hydrogenation of α‐methylene‐γ‐keto carboxylic acids, affording the chiral γ‐keto acids with up to over 99 % ee.
