An enantioselective C−H amidation of phosphine oxides by using an iridium(III) catalyst bearing an atropchiral cyclopentadienyl (Cp x ) ligand is reported. A very strong cooperative effect between the chiral Cp x ligand and a phthaloyl tert‐leucine enabled the transformation. Matched–mismatched cases of the different acid enantiomers are shown. The amidated P‐chiral arylphosphine oxides are formed in yields of up to 95 % and with excellent enantioselectivities of up to 99:1 er. Enantiospecific reduction provides access to valuable P‐chiral phosphorus(III) compounds.
