Q67 (NDA-I/2023) Miscellaneous & General Knowledge › Sports, Games & Awards Official Key

Who among the following is not a recipient of Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2022 ?

Explanation

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2022 was awarded jointly to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal, and K. Barry Sharpless "for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry."

Benjamin List (Option B) is the correct answer as he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2021, not 2022. He shared the 2021 prize with David W.C. MacMillan for their work on the development of asymmetric organocatalysis.

Key highlights of the 2022 laureates:

  • K. Barry Sharpless and Morten Meldal: Laid the foundation for click chemistry, a functional form of chemistry where molecular building blocks snap together quickly and efficiently.
  • Carolyn R. Bertozzi: Elevated click chemistry to a new dimension by developing bioorthogonal reactions that work inside living organisms without disrupting normal cell chemistry.
