Used as a chiral organocatalyst in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in enantioselective carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. Its rigid, sterically hindered structure enables high stereoselectivity in transformations such as Michael additions and aldol reactions. Commonly employed in pharmaceutical research for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure compounds. Also applied in academic and industrial settings to develop new catalytic methodologies where metal-free catalysis is preferred. Shows stability under various reaction conditions, allowing reuse in some cases.
