Widely used as a chiral catalyst in asymmetric synthesis, enabling highly enantioselective transformations. Commonly applied in asymmetric hydrogenation reactions, where it facilitates the reduction of prochiral ketones and alkenes to produce enantiomerically enriched alcohols and saturated compounds. Its robust performance in catalyzing C–C and C–H bond activation makes it valuable in pharmaceutical synthesis, where precise stereochemistry is critical. The complex is particularly effective in transfer hydrogenation reactions using hydrogen donors like formic acid or isopropanol, offering mild reaction conditions and high turnover numbers. Its air-stable nature and compatibility with various functional groups enhance its utility in both academic research and industrial-scale enantioselective processes.
