Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of prochiral aromatic ketones was carried out with a water‐soluble complex of Rh III Cp* and mononitrobenzenesulfonamide bidentate ligand (1 R ,2 R )‐ N ‐(2‐aminocyclohexyl)‐4‐nitrobenzenesulfonamide 1 derived from chiral cyclohexane‐1,2‐diamine. Aqueous sodium formate was used as the hydride source. The reaction afforded the chiral alcohols in good enantioselectivities (79–93%) and yields (>99%). The modified monosulfonamide ligand was also covalently immobilized on solid phase such as silica, resin, and mesoporous SBA‐15 silica and then explored as a catalyst with Rh III Cp* in the ATH of acetophenone.
