Application
1,1'-Bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ferrocene palladium(II) dichloride serves as a highly efficient catalyst primarily used in the Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. This involves the coupling of aromatic and heteroaromatic halides with methyliminodiacetic acid derivatives, enabling the formation of complex organic compounds. The product's use extends to the preparation of chalcones and (bisphosphinometallocene)-palladium(II) chloride complexes, the latter serving as a starting material for the Buchwald-Hartwig reaction. The enhancement in its catalytic efficiency underscores its vital role in facilitating these important chemical transformations.
