Used as a chiral catalyst in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in enantioselective C–H functionalization reactions. It enables high stereoselectivity in the insertion of carbenoids into C–H bonds, making it valuable in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, including pharmaceuticals and natural products. Its robust structure and well-defined chirality allow for consistent performance in catalytic amounts, often with high turnover and selectivity. Commonly applied in research settings for developing enantiopure compounds.
