Used as a chiral organocatalyst in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in enantioselective cyclization and fluorination reactions. Its rigid bicyclic structure and defined stereochemistry make it effective for inducing high enantioselectivity in the formation of chiral heterocycles and bioactive molecule intermediates. Commonly applied in medicinal chemistry for synthesizing enantiopure compounds, especially in the development of pharmaceuticals where stereochemistry impacts biological activity. Also employed in methodological studies to expand catalytic asymmetric transformations involving iminium or oxocarbenium ion intermediates.
