Used as a specialized ligand in homogeneous catalysis, particularly in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Its rigid ether-linked bisphosphine structure enhances metal complex stability and improves catalytic efficiency in transformations such as Suzuki-Miyaura and Buchwald-Hartwig aminations. The compound’s steric and electronic properties promote high selectivity and turnover in the synthesis of biaryl and nitrogen-containing compounds, which are key intermediates in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Also employed in the development of novel catalysts for asymmetric synthesis due to its tunable coordination geometry.
