Phosphothreonine (pThr) was found to constitute a new class of chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalyst upon insertion into peptides. To demonstrate the potential of these phosphopeptides as asymmetric catalysts, enantioselective transferhydrogenations of a previously underexplored substrate class for CPA‐catalyzed reductions were carried out. pThr‐containing peptides lead to the observation of enantioselectivities
