Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective transformations such as hydrogenation and C–C bond-forming reactions. Its oxazoline rings coordinate effectively with transition metals like palladium, nickel, and copper, enabling high stereocontrol in the synthesis of optically active compounds. Commonly applied in pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries where precise chirality is critical. The ligand’s rigid backbone and steric properties enhance enantioselectivity and reaction efficiency across various metal-catalyzed processes.
