Used as a chiral catalyst in asymmetric hydrogenation reactions, particularly for prochiral olefins and ketones. It enables high enantioselectivity in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and fine chemicals. Commonly applied in homogeneous catalysis where its rhodium center coordinates substrates effectively, and the chiral phosphine ligands induce stereocontrol. Suitable for reactions under mild pressure and temperature conditions, making it valuable in academic and industrial organic synthesis for producing enantiopure compounds.
