Organocatalysis

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In organic chemistry, organocatalysis is a form of catalysis where the rate of a chemical reaction grows by an organic catalyst. They are made up of carbon, hydrogen, sulfur and other nonmetal elements found in organic compounds.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Organic chemists David MacMillan and Benjamin List both won the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on asymmetric organocatalysis.[7]
