Used as a chiral catalyst in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in enantioselective carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. Its rigid oxazole-quinoline framework enhances stereocontrol, making it valuable in pharmaceutical synthesis where high enantiomeric purity is required. Also employed in coordination chemistry as a ligand for transition metals like palladium and copper to promote asymmetric catalysis. Shows potential in developing luminescent materials due to the quinoline moiety's photophysical properties.
