Used as a chiral intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals where stereochemistry plays a critical role. Its oxazoline core acts as a directing group in asymmetric synthesis, enabling selective carbon-carbon bond formation. Commonly employed in catalysis, especially in transition-metal-catalyzed reactions, to produce enantiomerically enriched products. Also serves as a ligand in coordination chemistry, enhancing enantioselectivity in reactions such as hydrogenation and cyclopropanation. Its pyrimidine moiety allows for potential use in agrochemicals and medicinal chemistry due to favorable binding properties with biological targets.
