Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective organic transformations. Its rigid structure and stereochemical purity make it effective in coordinating with metal centers such as copper or palladium, enabling high enantioselectivity in reactions like cyclopropanation, Diels-Alder, and aldol reactions. Commonly employed in research settings for the synthesis of optically active compounds, including pharmaceutical intermediates and fine chemicals. Its performance in catalytic systems often results in high yield and excellent enantiomeric excess (ee), making it valuable in academic and industrial asymmetric synthesis.
