New 1,2-disubstituted ferrocenes [5(b-j), in which R = -SMe, -SPh, -SiPr, -SiMe3, -SePh, -SnBu3, -B(OH)2, -Me, -I] with a thiazoline ring in the ferrocene backbone using as key intermediate a ferrocenyl Fischer carbene complex were synthesized. The capability of the 2-thiazoline moiety as an ortho-directed metalation group was demonstrated by subsequent quenching of lithium intermediate with several electrophiles, proving to be an excellent method for synthesizing bidentate ligands. The catalytic scope of the [N,S] ligand 5b as the corresponding palladium complex 5b-PdCl 2 in a microwave-promoted Heck reaction was also tested. Results obtained showed better catalytic activity of 5b-PdCl2 compared to other catalytic systems based on a [N,S] ferrocenyl ligand. The Royal Society of Chemistry.
