This paper describes the synthesis of a new class of [N,P] ligands based on pyrrole with a dimethylamino group as hard donor and a phosphine moiety as soft base. We have also modified the phosphine fragment to change the electronic and steric properties of these ligands. Palladium complex g class="boldFont">3ag> proved to be very efficient in Heck cross-coupling reactions and in intramolecular aryl-aryl couplings of esters and amides. We have demonstrated the applicability and efficiency of this novel catalyst in the total synthesis of the natural product arnottin I.
