Polymer-supported phosphine ligand 3b derived from ferrocene was prepared, and applied in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki- Miyaura reactions. A range of aryl bromides can couple with phenylboronic acid to obtain corresponding biaryls in excellent yields. The recycling of the polymer-bound catalyst was tested without adding palladium.
