Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective organic transformations such as aldol reactions, Michael additions, and Mannich reactions. Its rigid chiral framework enhances stereocontrol, making it valuable in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and fine chemicals where high enantiomeric purity is required. Commonly employed in copper- or zinc-mediated catalytic systems to achieve high asymmetric induction. Also utilized in academic and industrial research for developing new chiral catalysts and studying reaction mechanisms involving stereoselectivity.
