(S-p,S-p,S-p)-Tris(2-methyl ferrocenyl)phosphine 1 was synthesised in 62% y
ield from (S)-2-ferrocenyl-4-(1-methylethyl)oxazoline. In combination with
Pd(2)dba(3) this novel C-3-symmetric ligand generates a catalyst for the Su
zuki reaction of aryl chloride substrates, these reactions proceed readily
at 60 degreesC in dioxane. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserv
