Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective transition metal-catalyzed reactions. It plays a key role in promoting high stereoselectivity in transformations such as hydrogenation, C–C bond formation, and cycloadditions. Its rigid dibenzofuran backbone and oxazoline moieties enhance metal coordination and stereocontrol, making it valuable in the synthesis of optically active pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Commonly employed with metals like palladium, rhodium, and nickel to achieve efficient chiral induction in complex organic syntheses.
