Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in transition metal-catalyzed reactions where high enantioselectivity is required. Its rigid backbone and electron-withdrawing perfluorophenyl groups enhance stability and influence catalyst performance in hydrogenation and cross-coupling reactions. Commonly employed in pharmaceutical synthesis to control stereochemistry during the formation of chiral centers. The phosphorus center coordinates with metals such as palladium, rhodium, or ruthenium, enabling efficient asymmetric induction under mild reaction conditions.
