Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in transition metal-catalyzed reactions such as hydrogenation and cross-coupling. Its rigid backbone and stereogenic centers enable high enantioselectivity, making it valuable in the synthesis of optically active pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Commonly employed in palladium- and rhodium-based catalytic systems to control stereochemistry during bond formation. Effective in reactions requiring high steric and electronic tuning due to the electron-donating methoxy groups and bulky tert-butyl and 2-methoxypropan-2-yl substituents.
