An asymmetric synthesis of the 2,5‐diphenylphosphol‐2‐ene fragment (≥95% ee ) has been realized via enantioselective Cinchona ‐alkaloid catalyzed double bond isomerization of a meso ‐2,5‐diphenylphosphol‐3‐ene amide to a 2,5‐diphenylphosphol‐2‐ene amide (up to 83% ee ), followed by enantiomeric enrichment to ≥95% ee by crystallization. The 2,5‐diphenylphosphol‐2‐ene amide (a cyclic phosphinic acid amide) was hydrolyzed to the 2,5‐diphenylphosphol‐2‐ene acid (a cyclic phosphinic acid) with retention of configuration at C‐5.
