Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective hydrogenation reactions. It forms effective complexes with transition metals like rhodium and ruthenium, enabling high enantioselectivity in the synthesis of chiral molecules. Commonly applied in pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries where precise stereochemistry is critical. Its rigid cyclohexane backbone and oxazoline rings enhance stereocontrol, making it valuable for producing single-enantiomer compounds.
