Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Air‐stable P‐chiral dihydrobenzooxaphosphole oxazoline ligands were designed and synthesized. When they were used in the iridium‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of unfunctionalized 1‐aryl‐3, 4‐dihydronaphthalenes under one atmosphere pressure of H₂, up to 99:1 e.r. was obtained. High enantioselectivities were also observed in the reduction of the exocyclic imine derivatives of 1‐tetralones.</p> </abstract>
