A highly selective Negishi coupling of zinc-metallated ferrocenyl p-tolyl sulfoxide with aryl bromides was developed. With Pd(PPh 3 ) 4 as catalyst, a well-matched system in terms of reactivity of organometallic compound, aryl bromide, and catalyst, was obtained. The scope of the reaction was studied by the use of aryl bromides 7a−g, which afforded high yields of coupling products. The reaction conditions for the preparation of ferrocenyl p-tolyl sulfoxide, according to the Andersen method, were optimised to give a yield of 80% and an enantio-
