Used as a chiral catalyst or ligand in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in enantioselective hydrogenation and coupling reactions. Its oxazoline core with a pyridine group enables strong coordination to transition metals, enhancing stereocontrol in the formation of chiral molecules. Commonly applied in pharmaceutical synthesis where high enantiomeric purity is required. The ethyl and dihydrooxazole substituents fine-tune steric and electronic properties, improving catalyst selectivity and yield in complex organic transformations.
