An air‐stable, simple ( R P )‐mentylbenzylphosphinate, readily available in large quantities, can efficiently induce the rhodium‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α‐acetamidocinnamates with high enantioselectivity (up to 99.6 % ee ). Intramolecular hydrogen bonding plays an important role in this asymmetric induction.
