Enantiomerically pure P‐chiral phospholanes can be readily prepared from ( R )‐ N , N ‐dimethyl‐1‐ferrocenylethylamine by means of an ortho ‐lithiation procedure followed by a stereoconvergent hydrophosphination reaction. These mono‐ or bidentate ligands were converted to the corresponding Rh and Ir complexes, including a chiral version of Crabtree's catalyst, and tested in the asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins.
