Used as a chiral catalyst in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in enantioselective hydrogenation and cyclization reactions. Its oxazole core and phenylpyridine group enable strong coordination with transition metals, enhancing stereochemical control in the production of pharmaceutical intermediates. Commonly applied in the synthesis of bioactive molecules where high enantiomeric excess is required. Shows good performance under mild reaction conditions, making it suitable for complex molecule assembly in medicinal chemistry and fine chemical manufacturing.
