Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective hydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation reactions. Its sterically hindered structure and defined stereochemistry make it effective in inducing high enantioselectivity when coordinating with transition metals like ruthenium, rhodium, or iridium. Commonly employed in the synthesis of chiral amines, alcohols, and other fine chemicals important in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Also finds use in organocatalytic transformations due to its stable imidazolidine core and tunable electronic properties.
