Used as a chiral organocatalyst in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in enantioselective phosphorylation and esterification reactions. Its sterically hindered, fluorinated structure enhances selectivity and stability, making it effective in promoting high enantiomeric excess in the formation of chiral phosphates and phosphonates. Commonly applied in pharmaceutical synthesis where precise stereochemistry is critical. The perfluorinated aryl groups improve solubility in fluorinated solvents, enabling use in biphasic reaction systems and facilitating catalyst recovery. Also employed in the development of chiral ligands for transition metal-catalyzed transformations due to its strong coordinating ability with metals through the phosphorus center.
