Abstract A general and mild nickel‐catalyzed enantioselective C(sp 2 )−P cross‐coupling for synthesizing P‐stereogenic phosphine oxides has been developed. The asymmetric alkenylation/arylation of racemic secondary with alkenyl/aryl bromides generated high yields enantioselectivities. Various functional groups were tolerated, the applications this method demonstrated through late‐stage functionalization product transformations.
