Used as a chiral ligand or auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis, enabling the formation of enantiomerically enriched compounds. Its rigid pyrrolidine backbone with defined stereochemistry makes it valuable in catalyzing enantioselective transformations, particularly in pharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturing. Commonly employed in alkylations, Michael additions, and aldol reactions where high stereoselectivity is required. Also utilized in the development of chiral catalysts for industrial-scale synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
