The authors describe a new series of chiral mono- and bidentate 2,5-disubstituted phospholanes and demonstrate their use as ligands in asymmetric catalysis. Rhodium complexes bearing the new phosphine ligands were prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. These complexes act as efficient catalyst precursors for the enantioselective hydrogenation of unsaturated substrates.
