Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective organic transformations. Its oxazoline rings coordinate with metal centers such as copper or palladium, enabling highly stereoselective reactions including cyclopropanations, aldol additions, and allylic alkylations. The rigid backbone and stereogenic centers enhance enantiocontrol, making it valuable in the synthesis of chiral pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Commonly employed in research settings for developing asymmetric methodologies where high enantiomeric excess is required.
