Used in asymmetric catalysis as a chiral auxiliary or ligand, enabling the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched compounds. Its rigid oxazoline core and stereodefined centers make it valuable in promoting stereoselective transformations, particularly in aldol reactions, cycloadditions, and metal-catalyzed couplings. Frequently employed in pharmaceutical research for constructing complex molecules with high optical purity. Also applied in the development of novel catalysts for industrial and academic synthetic routes where precise stereocontrol is required.
