Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective organic transformations. Its rigid adamantane-containing structure enhances stereocontrol, making it effective in catalyzing reactions such as asymmetric aldol, Diels-Alder, and Michael additions. The dihydrooxazole moieties coordinate with metal centers like copper or zinc, forming active complexes that deliver high enantioselectivity. Valued for thermal stability and ability to induce chirality in pharmaceutical intermediates and fine chemicals.
