Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective transition metal-catalyzed reactions. It plays a key role in promoting stereoselectivity in carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions, such as allylic alkylation and Heck-type reactions. Its rigid oxazoline-bipyridine framework enhances metal coordination control, leading to high enantiomeric excess in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and fine chemicals. Commonly employed with palladium, nickel, or copper complexes to achieve efficient asymmetric induction under mild reaction conditions.
