D-Norvaline is used as a catalyst in the enantioselective α-bromination of carbonyl and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. D-Norvaline is also incorporated into jadomycins (a group of compounds that are widely used as antibiotics), ultimately producing compounds that have potential antiproliferative/anti-cancer properties.
