2005 Nobel Prize in Chemistry - Metathesis Reactions
This year�s recipients of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry �Yves Chauvin, Robert Grubbs and Richard Schrock � were instrumental in the discovery and refinement of the olefin metathesis reaction. This increasingly important organic process allows researchers to synthesize certain kinds of complex molecules that were previously difficult and inefficient to make. Their research has opened the door to faster, more efficient and greener methods for developing new drugs and polymers.
