Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in transition-metal-catalyzed reactions. It plays a key role in enantioselective transformations such as hydrogenation and C–C bond formation, where high stereocontrol is required. Its rigid bisoxazoline structure enhances metal coordination, improving catalytic efficiency and selectivity. Commonly employed with metals like copper, nickel, or palladium in synthetic routes to pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals.
