Used as a chiral catalyst ligand in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in enantioselective hydrogenation and C–C bond formation reactions. Its oxazoline-bipyridine framework enhances metal coordination, improving stereocontrol in transition-metal-catalyzed reactions. Commonly employed with iridium, rhodium, or palladium complexes for the production of optically active pharmaceutical intermediates and fine chemicals. The rigid structure and stereogenic center contribute to high enantioselectivity in catalytic processes.
