Used as a chiral resolving agent in the synthesis of enantiomerically pure compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals where specific enantiomers are required for desired biological activity. It is also employed in asymmetric synthesis to induce chirality in organic reactions, aiding in the production of optically active substances. Additionally, it serves as a precursor in the manufacture of various fine chemicals and agrochemicals, enhancing the efficiency and selectivity of the synthesis processes. In research, it is utilized as a building block for the development of novel chiral catalysts and ligands.
