A carbene‐oxazoline catalyst 1 proved to be an effective catalyst for reduction of an enol ether that the literature suggested could not be hydrogenated effectively by P,N ‐Ir catalysts. Thus, a series of ester and alcohol substrates were hydrogenated using catalyst 1 . Good to excellent enantioselectivities and high conversions were obtained.
