Used as a chiral resolving agent in the separation of enantiomers, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. Its stereoselective properties make it valuable in the synthesis of optically active compounds, including intermediates for drugs targeting central nervous system disorders. Also employed in asymmetric synthesis and as a ligand in catalytic reactions to control stereochemistry. Commonly found in the development of chiral stationary phases for HPLC, enabling efficient enantiomeric separation.
