Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective transition metal-catalyzed reactions. Its structure enables effective coordination to metals like copper or nickel, facilitating high enantioselectivity in transformations such as conjugate additions and cyclopropanations. Commonly employed in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates where stereochemical control is critical. Also applied in the development of catalysts for C–C bond-forming reactions, offering improved yield and selectivity in complex organic syntheses.
