We report an alternative synthesis of the two enantiomers of the floral fragrance Rosaphen®. The key intermediate 2‐methyl‐5‐phenylpentanoic acid 3 is synthesized via asymmetric hydrogenation ( ee up to 99%) in the presence of an in situ prepared ruthenium catalyst containing the chiral ferrocenyl phosphine Mandyphos‐4.
