Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in catalytic reactions where high enantioselectivity is required. Its structural rigidity and defined stereochemistry make it effective in promoting asymmetric transformations such as hydrogenation, C–C bond formation, and enantioselective oxidation. Commonly employed in transition metal-catalyzed reactions, it helps control the spatial arrangement of reactants, leading to preferential formation of one enantiomer. Also utilized in the development of chiral sensors and advanced materials requiring precise molecular orientation.
