Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective hydrogenation reactions. Its rigid cyclohexane backbone and oxazoline rings provide a well-defined chiral environment, making it effective in coordinating transition metals like rhodium or iridium. This enables high enantioselectivity in the synthesis of chiral molecules, which is crucial in pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. Commonly applied in the production of optically active intermediates, especially for drugs requiring specific stereochemistry.
