Widely used as a chiral catalyst in asymmetric synthesis, enabling highly enantioselective transformations. Commonly applied in asymmetric hydrogenation reactions, particularly for prochiral ketones and olefins, allowing efficient production of optically active alcohols and amines. Plays a key role in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates where stereochemical control is critical. Its robust performance in catalytic cycles makes it suitable for use in low loadings, reducing metal contamination in final products. Also employed in transfer hydrogenation reactions under mild conditions, offering high turnover numbers and excellent enantioselectivity. Compatible with a range of functional groups, making it valuable in complex molecule synthesis.
