A new family of chiral phosphorus ligands ( 5 ) for use in enantioselective catalysis have been synthesised. The ligands contain the electron‐poor bis(sulfonyl)diazaphospholidine moiety and possess a highly modular structure which is well suited to the synthesis of a library. A small library (23 members) of ligands 5 was prepared and tested in the enantioselective copper‐catalysed conjugate addition of diethylzinc to cyclohexenone. Complete conversions were obtained with enantiomeric excesses ( ee ) of up to 75%. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004)
