The first example of the synthesis of an axially chiral bis(aryldicyclohexylphosphine) dioxide via catalytic hydrogenation of the optically resolved parent bis(aryldiphenylphosphine) dioxide was reported. The procedure for the synthesis of Cy‐P‐Phos ( 4d ) has thus successfully avoided the need for an otherwise lengthy synthetic route owing to the π‐excessive nature of one of the aryl groups in the latter. The use of Cy‐P‐Phos in the Rh(I)‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of the derivatives of methyl ( Z )‐2‐acetamidocinnamate gave significantly higher rates of reaction as compared to the use of the previously reported optimal ligand Xyl‐P‐Phos ( 4c ) whilst the level of enantioselectivity was essentially maintained.
