Οι νικητές για το Νόμπελ Χημείας 2021 είναι οι Benjamin List και David McMillan «για την ανάπτυξη ασύμμετρης οργανοκατάλυσης».

Ο Γερμανός επιστήμονας Benjamin List και ο Αμερικανός David McMillan τιμήθηκαν με το Νόμπελ για την ανάπτυξη ενός νέου εργαλείου κατασκευής μορίων που επέτρεψε να "πρασινίσει" η Χημεία και να βελτιωθεί η φαρμακευτική έρευνα όπως ανακοίνωσε η επιτροπή που απονέμει τα βραβεία.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Benjamin List and David W.C. MacMillan “for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis.”
Building molecules is a difficult art. List and MacMillan are awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2021 for their development of a precise new tool for molecular construction: organocatalysis. This has had a great impact on pharmaceutical research, and has made chemistry greener.
Catalysts are fundamental tools for chemists, but researchers long believed that there were, in principle, just two types of catalysts available: metals and enzymes. List and MacMillan are awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2021 because in 2000 they, independent of each other, developed a third type of catalysis. It is called asymmetric organocatalysis and builds upon small organic molecules.
Organocatalysis has developed at an astounding speed since 2000. List and MacMillan remain leaders in the field, and have shown that organic catalysts can be used to drive multitudes of chemical reactions. Using these reactions, researchers can now more efficiently construct anything from new pharmaceuticals to molecules that can capture light in solar cells.
