Application

Binol serves as a versatile chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective C-C bond-forming reactions. It is widely employed in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals due to its ability to induce high stereoselectivity. Researchers utilize Binol-derived catalysts for asymmetric oxidations, reductions, and cycloadditions. Its derivatives are also pivotal in materials science for constructing chiral frameworks.
