The invention discloses a chiral ferrocene PNNO tetradentate ligand and application of the chiral ferrocene PNNO tetradentate ligand in asymmetric hydrogenation reaction, and belongs to the field of fine chemical engineering. The ligand disclosed by the invention is a novel chiral tetradentate phosphine ligand, and the ligand has the advantages of simplicity in synthesis, easiness in modification, good stability and the like. Metal complexes of the ligands show very excellent catalytic activity and extremely high enantioselectivity in asymmetric hydrogenation reaction of ketone, and alpha, beta, beta, beta-tetracarboxylic acid can be efficiently converted into alpha, beta, beta-tetracarboxylic acid, alpha, beta-tetracarboxylic acid and alpha, beta-tetracarboxylic acid. Prochiral ketones such as alpha, beta-unsaturated ketone, simple aryl alkyl ketone, alpha-hydroxy aryl alkyl ketone, alpha-amino aryl alkyl ketone, alpha-chloro aryl alkyl ketone, beta-keto ester and aryl (hetero) aryl ketone are reduced into corresponding chiral alcohols, and the method has important industrial application value.
