<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>A new chiral aminophosphine ligand 6,6′‐dimethoxy‐2,2′‐bis(diphenylphosphinoamino) biphenyl (DMBDPPABP) was prepared and its rhodium complex was found to be an effective catalyst for the asymmetric hydrogenation of amidoacrylic add and its derivatives. The effects of solvent and reaction temperature on enantioselectivity were also studied.</jats:p>
