Disclosed is a novel ferrocene-based compound as a ligand for a catalyst that improves the conversion of an alkoxycarbonylation reaction of a long-chain olefin such as 2-octene or di-n-butene. A Pd complex having a compound of formula (I) is used for alkoxycarbonylation. (R 1 to R 4 are each independently-(C 1 -C 12 ) -alkyl,-(C 3 -C 12 ) -cycloalkyl,-(C 3 -C 12 ) -heterocycloalkyl,-( C 6 -C 20) - aryl, - (C 3 -C 20) - heteroaryl; at least one of R 1 to R 4 groups have at least 6-membered ring atom - (C 6 -C 20) -Heteroaryl group).
