Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in catalytic reactions to produce enantiomerically pure compounds. It is valuable in pharmaceutical manufacturing for creating chiral intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its unique structure enhances selectivity and efficiency in metal-catalyzed reactions, such as hydrogenation and carbon-carbon bond formation. Commonly applied in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, including natural products and fine chemicals. Its steric and electronic properties make it effective in controlling stereochemistry, improving yields, and reducing by-products in synthetic processes.
