Used as a chiral intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of optically active drugs where stereochemistry plays a critical role in biological activity. Its oxazoline core acts as a directing group in asymmetric synthesis, enabling selective transformations in complex molecule construction. Commonly employed in catalysis and as a ligand in metal-mediated reactions to produce enantiomerically pure compounds. Also finds use in the preparation of bioactive molecules targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory conditions.
