✦ Synopsis
The synthesis of a series of phosphine-oxazoline ligands is reported. This ligands are synthesized by reaction of a phosphine chloride with the secondary nitrogen of proline. Upon coordination to iridium the resulting complexes can be used in the asymmetric hydrogenation of simple olefins. The effect of different counter ions and substitution at the oxazoline and the phosphine is reported.

## Abstract Herein we describe the synthesis of a new class of chiral phosphine‐oxazolines and their application as ligands in iridium‐catalyzed hydrogenations. Mechanistic aspects of olefin hydrogenation with this class of iridium catalysts are discussed and a selectivity model to help rationalize
