This chemical is primarily used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in transition metal-catalyzed reactions. It is highly effective in facilitating enantioselective transformations, such as hydrogenation, carbon-carbon bond formation, and other organic synthesis processes. Its electron-rich and sterically demanding structure allows for precise control over the stereochemistry of the reaction products, making it valuable in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. The trifluoromethyl groups enhance its stability and reactivity, while the methoxy groups contribute to its solubility and ligand-metal coordination properties.
