Used as a chiral auxiliary and intermediate in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry for the preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds. Its silyl ether group enhances stability and solubility during reaction processes, making it valuable in multi-step organic syntheses. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive molecules, including nootropic agents and other central nervous system modulators. The compound’s stereochemical integrity allows for high enantioselectivity in key bond-forming reactions.
