Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective organic transformations. Its structure enables coordination with transition metals, forming catalysts that promote high stereoselectivity in reactions such as hydrogenation, epoxidation, and cyclopropanation. Commonly applied in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and fine chemicals where control of stereochemistry is critical. Its effectiveness in metal-catalyzed reactions makes it valuable in academic and industrial research for developing efficient asymmetric synthetic routes.
