This chemical is widely used as a ligand in transition metal catalysis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki-Miyaura and Buchwald-Hartwig amination. Its sterically hindered and electron-rich structure enhances the stability and reactivity of the metal complexes, making it valuable in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. It is also employed in the development of new catalytic systems for organic transformations, enabling efficient and selective bond formation in complex molecular structures.
