Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in transition metal-catalyzed reactions such as asymmetric hydrogenation and cross-coupling reactions. Its steric bulk and defined stereochemistry enable high enantioselectivity in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries for producing single-enantiomer compounds. Commonly employed in palladium- and rhodium-based catalytic systems where precise stereocontrol is required.
