Used as a chiral ligand or catalyst precursor in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in enantioselective hydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation reactions. Its phosphoramidate structure with a defined stereochemistry enables high enantioselectivity in the production of chiral amines and alcohols, which are key intermediates in pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Commonly applied in transition metal-catalyzed reactions, especially with ruthenium or iridium complexes, to achieve efficient stereocontrol. Also explored in organocatalysis due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds and coordinate metals effectively.
