Widely used as a chiral catalyst in asymmetric hydrogenation reactions, enabling high enantioselectivity in the synthesis of optically active compounds. Particularly effective for hydrogenating prochiral olefins and enamides, which are key intermediates in pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Its robust performance in polar solvents and under mild pressure conditions makes it suitable for industrial-scale enantioselective transformations. Commonly employed in the production of chiral amines, amino acids, and other bioactive molecules where stereochemical purity is critical.
