Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in rhodium- and palladium-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation and cross-coupling reactions. Its structure enables high enantioselectivity in the synthesis of chiral molecules, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries for producing single-enantiomer compounds. Commonly applied in the asymmetric hydrogenation of dehydroamino acids and enamides, leading to chiral amino acids and amines. Also employed in C–C bond-forming reactions where stereocontrol is critical. Its robust performance under various reaction conditions makes it a preferred choice in industrial and academic research settings.
