Used as a chiral catalyst in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in enantioselective hydrogenation reactions of prochiral ketones. It enables the efficient production of optically active compounds, which are important in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. The complex is especially effective for hydrogenating prochiral ketones, delivering high enantiomeric excess (ee). Its well-defined stereochemistry allows for precise control over the formation of chiral centers, making it valuable in the synthesis of complex molecules where stereochemistry is critical.
