Used in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in the development of chiral ligands for transition metal-catalyzed reactions. Its ferrocene backbone provides structural stability and electronic tunability, making it valuable in enantioselective synthesis, such as hydrogenation and cross-coupling reactions. The oxazoline ring enhances coordination to metals, improving catalytic efficiency and stereoselectivity. Commonly applied in pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries where high enantiomeric purity is required.
