Used as a chiral intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of selective receptor modulators. Its oxazole core and pyridine group enable coordination with biological targets, making it valuable in developing drugs for neurological and inflammatory conditions. Commonly employed in asymmetric synthesis due to its stereochemical stability, it helps achieve high enantioselectivity in active pharmaceutical ingredients. Also utilized in catalyst systems for enantioselective transformations in medicinal chemistry research.
