The palladium catalysed reaction of 1‐iodo‐2‐methylnaphthalene and 2‐methyl‐1‐naphthylmagnesium bromide gave quantitatively an ( S a )‐configured cross‐coupled product in 80 % e.e. using ( R , S p )‐PPFA as a ligand. N , N ‐Dimethylaminomethylferrocene was cyclopalladated (Na 2 PdCl 4 , ( S )−Ac−Phe−OH, 93 % e.e., as determined by 1 H NMR as a result of self‐induced non‐equivalence), and the resulting ( S p )‐configured dimeric palladacycle was employed as a precatalyst for this cross‐coupling reaction (5 mol%). Addition to the palladacycle of diphenylphosphine and subsequent base‐promoted bidentate ligand synthesis and palladium capture gave an in situ generated catalyst resulting in an ( S p )‐configured product in up to 71 % e.e.
