Used as a chiral auxiliary and ligand in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in enantioselective catalysis. Its rigid cyclopropane core and bulky cyclohexyl groups help control stereochemistry in carbon–carbon bond-forming reactions. Commonly employed in transition metal-catalyzed reactions such as hydrogenation and cyclopropanation, where high enantioselectivity is required. Also utilized in the development of chiral catalysts for pharmaceutical synthesis due to its ability to induce specific stereochemical outcomes.
