Used as a chiral auxiliary or ligand in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in enantioselective catalysis. Its structure enables high stereocontrol in carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions, such as aldol or Diels-Alder reactions. Commonly employed in pharmaceutical synthesis where precise chirality is critical. The sulfinyl and oxazoline groups coordinate with metal centers, enhancing reactivity and selectivity in transition-metal-catalyzed transformations. Also applied in the development of chiral catalysts for industrial and academic research settings.
