Useful ligand for Pd-catalyzed C-N bond forming reactions of nucleosides.1 Also used in synthesis of planar chiral tethered η6:η1-(phosphinophenylenearene-p)ruthenium(II) complexes for use as asymmetric catalysts,2 palladium-mediated N-arylation of indoles with 4-[18F]fluoroiodobenzene as a novel radiolabelling method,3 synthesis of N-aryl- and N-heteroaryl-N′-(arylalkyl)piperazines using palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl bromides and heteroaryl chlorides with mono N-benzyl- or N-(arylethyl)piperazines,4 and amination of aryl halides containing hydroxyl, amide, or enolizable ketones.2
