Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective organic transformations. It forms complexes with transition metals like copper or nickel, enabling highly stereoselective reactions such as cyclopropanations, aldol additions, and Diels-Alder reactions. Its rigid bis(oxazoline) structure provides excellent stereocontrol, making it valuable in the synthesis of optically active pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Commonly employed in research and industrial settings where high enantiomeric excess is required.
