Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective organic transformations such as hydrogenation and carbon-carbon bond formation. Its oxazoline rings coordinate with transition metals like rhodium or iridium, creating a stereochemically defined environment that favors the formation of one enantiomer over the other. Commonly employed in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals where high enantiomeric purity is required. Shows good performance in catalytic systems due to its rigid aromatic backbone and tunable steric properties.
