Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in transition metal-catalyzed reactions such as hydrogenation and C–C bond formation. Its rigid dibenzofuran backbone and oxazoline moieties provide excellent stereocontrol, making it effective in producing enantiomerically enriched compounds. Commonly employed in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals where high enantioselectivity is required. Also utilized in research for developing new catalytic systems with improved activity and selectivity.
