A new series of chiral ferrocenyl bis-phosphine ligands have been synthesized. Elements of planar and/or central chirality have been incorporated into ferrocene backbone through sulfinyl, sulfonyl and sulfenyl groups at ortho-position to the phosphines. The effectiveness of these ligands has been demonstrated in Rh-catalyzed hydrogenations and Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylations.
