This chiral ligand, a BINOL derivative known as (S)-3,3'-Bis(9-anthryl)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diol, is primarily used in asymmetric catalysis for organic synthesis, facilitating the production of enantiomerically pure compounds crucial for pharmaceutical drug development with specific biological activities. It is also employed in synthesizing complex organic molecules requiring precise stereochemical control and in materials science for creating chiral materials used in advanced optical devices. Additionally, its distinctive fluorescence properties make it valuable as a molecular probe in analytical chemistry for studying intermolecular interactions and structural analysis through spectroscopic techniques, enhancing research and industrial processes demanding high stereoselectivity.
