Used as a chiral catalyst ligand in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in enantioselective hydrogenation and coupling reactions. Its oxazoline core and pyridine ring enable strong coordination with transition metals like palladium or iridium, enhancing stereocontrol in the production of pharmaceutical intermediates. The tert-butyl and benzyl groups contribute to steric bulk and electronic tuning, improving selectivity and yield in catalytic processes. Commonly applied in the synthesis of bioactive molecules where high enantiomeric purity is required.
