Used as a chiral resolving agent in organic synthesis due to its rigid V-shaped structure and inherent chirality. Enables separation of enantiomers in racemic mixtures through diastereomeric complex formation. Employed in asymmetric catalysis and molecular recognition studies. Serves as a building block in supramolecular chemistry for designing molecular machines and host-guest systems. Its well-defined cavity and stereochemistry make it valuable in developing chiral sensors and chromatographic stationary phases.
