Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in transition metal-catalyzed reactions such as asymmetric hydrogenation and C–C bond formation. Its sterically hindered structure enhances enantioselectivity, making it valuable in the synthesis of optically active pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Effective in rhodium- and ruthenium-based catalytic systems for producing high enantiomeric excess. Also employed in academic and industrial research for developing enantioselective transformations.
