This specialty chemical is a chiral bis(oxazoline) ligand derived from indene, primarily used in asymmetric catalysis for enantioselective organic synthesis. Its rigid, C2-symmetric structure enables high stereoselectivity in metal-catalyzed reactions, such as allylic alkylations, Diels-Alder reactions, and conjugate additions. It is particularly valuable as an intermediate or catalyst component in the pharmaceutical industry for producing chiral building blocks and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Additionally, its applications extend to materials science for developing chiral polymers and in academic research to study reaction mechanisms and molecular recognition.
