Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective organic transformations such as hydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation reactions. Its sterically hindered structure enhances selectivity and stability in metal-catalyzed processes, making it valuable in pharmaceutical synthesis where high enantiomeric purity is required. Also employed in the development of chiral catalysts for carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions, contributing to efficient and selective synthesis of complex molecules.
