                    Abstract: A new class of monophosphine ligands has been prepared from naturally chirality renewable source, 1,4 :3,6-dianhydrohexitol compounds, via a nucleophilic substitution process or a hydrophosphination reaction involving microwave activation. These ligands have been evaluated for the rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation of olefins giving good conversion and enantioselectivity up to 95% and 96% ee, respectively.
