Other than Heck, who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for palladium-catalyzed cross couplings?
Michio Kaku
Ryōji Noyori
Akira Suzuki
Osamu Shimomura
Answer
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2010 was awarded to three scientists for their work on palladium-catalyzed cross couplings in organic synthesis: Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi, and Akira Suzuki. These reactions are extremely important in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, such as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, as they allow for the efficient and selective formation of carbon-carbon bonds.
