Used as a chiral catalyst in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in enantioselective carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. Its oxazoline-quinoline framework coordinates with metal ions like copper or palladium, enabling high stereocontrol in reactions such as Diels-Alder, aldol, or allylic alkylation. Commonly applied in pharmaceutical research to produce enantiomerically pure intermediates. Also employed in the development of new catalytic systems for fine chemical synthesis due to its stability under various reaction conditions and ability to induce high enantioselectivity.
