Use in organic chemistry.
Derivatives of isoborneol are used as chiral ligands in asymmetric synthesis:
(2S)-(−)-3-exo-(morpholino)isoborneol or MIB[6] with a morpholine substituent in the α-hydroxyl position.
(2S)-(−)-3-exo-(dimethylamino)isoborneol or DAIB[7] with a dimethylamino substituent in the α-hydroxyl position.
