A chiral Josiphos-type ferrocene bisphosphine ligand widely used in homogeneous transition-metal catalysis. Frequently employed with rhodium, iridium, palladium, ruthenium and copper catalysts for asymmetric hydrogenation, asymmetric allylic substitution, hydroboration, Buchwald-Hartwig amination, Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and other enantioselective transformations. Extensively used in pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis, fine chemical manufacturing and catalyst development.
