Why did Knowles and Noyori win the Nobel Prize?
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2001 was divided, one half jointly to William S. Knowles and Ryoji Noyori “ for their work on chirally catalysed hydrogenation reactions ” and the other half to K. Barry Sharpless “for his work on chirally catalysed oxidation reactions.”
Who has been awarded Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2021?
MacMillan. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2021 was awarded jointly to Benjamin List and David W.C. MacMillan “for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis.”
What is chiral catalysis?
Chiral catalysis is one of the main avenues by which stereoselective synthesis can be achieved in organic chemistry , and it has therefore been a major focus in the development of homochiral MOFs for applications [7].
