This chemical is primarily used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in catalytic reactions where enantioselectivity is crucial. It plays a significant role in the development of pharmaceuticals by facilitating the production of enantiomerically pure compounds. Additionally, it is employed in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, aiding in the creation of compounds with high stereochemical control. Its trifluoromethanesulfonyl groups enhance its stability and reactivity, making it a valuable tool in advanced organic chemistry research and industrial applications.
