Nucleophilic aroma...@Scripps: I don't think so. Nucleophilic aromatic substitution, although ancient and downplayed since the development of Pd-catalysis, still works very well with halogenated heterocycles. Plus the Ullmann and Goldberg amination/etherification have been known for nearly a century, even though stoichiometric copper is needed. This year's awardees pioneered Pd-catalyzed CC bond formation; arguably, those that followed have merely expanded and optomized the scope of Pd-catalysis. Not to knock Buchwald or Hartwig though...Buchwald is probably making more money of the Suzuki reaction (via proprietary catalyst sales) than Akira Suzuki himself. As an analagous speculation, do you think Phil Baran should get a Nobel for organic synthesis after Woodward and Corey's awards?<br /><br />LavoisierAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-15136011036022391822010-10-07T09:04:50.779-04:002010-10-07T09:04:50.779-04:00hartwig does really boring chemistry, i hope to go...hartwig does really boring chemistry, i hope to god nobody thinks its nobel worthyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-32995865680225479252010-10-07T08:35:27.960-04:002010-10-07T08:35:27.960-04:00So, does this foretell another, later prize for C-...So, does this foretell another, later prize for C-X (X = O, N, S, etc) Pd-cat bond formation later on [lookin' at you, Buchwig-Hartwald]Scripps Floridanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-71231914458747651222010-10-06T16:09:22.165-04:002010-10-06T16:09:22.165-04:00A12:34p: It's an error with the applet that I ...A12:34p: It's an error with the applet that I used to set up the blogroll (it's over 18 months old, I think.

I thought Katz got a bit shafted for the olefin metathesis Nobel, even though his crossover studies proved the metallocyclobutane pathway. Anyway, it's a shame that Stille died in that plane crash; as much as I find organostannanes revolting, I've had to resort to the Stille coupling when boron just couldn't cut it. Also, why limit the prize to three awardees? At least dividing 1 million dollars/krona by 4 gives a whole number quotient!<br /><br />LavoisierAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-36109811272902153582010-10-06T08:10:18.936-04:002010-10-06T08:10:18.936-04:00Dude, I am honored.
