Used as a chiral intermediate in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients, particularly in the production of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen. Its oxazoline core provides stereochemical control during catalytic reactions, making it valuable in asymmetric synthesis. It also serves as a ligand in transition metal-catalyzed reactions, enhancing enantioselectivity in hydrogenation and coupling processes. Additionally, it is employed in the development of optically active agrochemicals and fine chemicals where high enantiomeric purity is required.
