Figure imgf000012_0001
R in the above scheme is a cyclohexyl group.
(S,pS)-2-(2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol)-1-bromoferrocene (B)
A solution of (pS)-2-bromoferrocenecarboxaldehyde (0.99 g, 3.39 mmol) in Et20 (20 ml) was added slowly via syringe to a solution of 'BuMgCI (2M, 3.39 ml, 6.78 mmol) in Et20 (20 ml) cooled to -78 °C. The resulting mixture was allowed to warm slowly to rt overnight. The crude mixture was washed with aqueous ammonium chloride solution (3 x 20 ml). The combined aqueous washes were extracted with DCM (20 ml). The combined organic extracts were dried (MgS04), filtered and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (Si02, DCM) to afford the title compound (0.842 g, 71 %) as yellow crystals. 1H NMR (CDCI3, 250 MHz): δ 0.91 (s, 9H); 2.8 (d, 1 H, J = 1.5 Hz); 4.15 (t, 1 H, J = 2.9); 4.25 (s, 5H); 4.28 (brs, 1 H); 4.49 (dd, 1 H, J = 2.5, 1.5 Hz).

Trifluoroacetic acid (1 ml) was added and the resulting mixture stirred for 1 hour. The reaction was quenched with aqueous NaHC03 (20 ml) and extracted with DCM (3 x 10 ml). The combined organic extracts were dried (MgS0 ), filtered, and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (Si02, 20% EtOAc/hexane) to give the title compound as a yellow oil. 1H NMR (CDCI3, 250 MHz): δ 0.88 (s, 9H); 2.3 (d, 1 H, J = 13.8 Hz); 2.57 (d, 1 H, J = 13.8 Hz); 4.05 (t, 1 H, J = 2.4 Hz); 4.11 (s, 6H, overlap); 4.37 (dd, 1 H, J = 2.1 , 1.5 Hz).

A solution of (pS)-2-(2,2-dimethylpropan)-1 -bromoferrocene (1.00 g, 2.99 mmol) in Et20 (10 ml) was degassed under N2 and cooled to -78 °C. BuLi in hexanes (1.49 ml, 3.28 mmol) was added dropwise and the solution allowed to warm to ~0 °C over 30 min. After cooling to -78 °C, CIPCy2 (0.72 ml, 3.28 mmol) was added via syringe and stirring continued for 30 min. After warming to rt over ~1 h. the solvent was removed in vacuo and the resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (Si02, 2% EtOAc/hexane).

Example 2
The novel ligand designated Fc1 was tested for catalytic activity in a standard Suzuki reaction, namely the coupling of 4-chlorotoluene with phenylboronic acid:
F // // THF
Figure imgf000014_0001
The results are presented graphically below:
Figure imgf000015_0001
After stirring at room temperature for 22h the Buchwald system had given a 64% conversion. On heating to 60°C both Fc1 and the Bedford catalyst began rapidly to catalyse the reaction, with Fc1 obtaining complete conversion (no detectable aryl chloride remaining in the reaction product mixture). It was postulated that the higher temperature is required to break down the stable preformed complex before it can become involved in the catalytic cycle. The catalyst therefore acts as a palladium source.
Similar results are obtained when the more demanding 4-chloroanisole is used as substrate. Again the catalyst of the invention outperformed the known systems in parallel tests.
It was noted that particularly good reaction times and conversion rates were obtained following microwave heating of the reaction mixture. Accordingly, there is also provided in accordance with the invention a method for effecting a coupling reaction, forming a carbon-carbon or carbonheteroatom bond, between a first substrate and a second substrate, comprising contacting the first substrate with the second substrate in the presence of the ligand of Formula (I) and a palladium source under basic conditions and in a suitable solvent, the method comprising the step of heating the reaction mixture with microwave radiation.
