Princeton, Oct 6 (EFE/EPA).- Benjamin List and David W.C. MacMillan have been awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for their "development of asymmetric organocatalysis,” the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm announced on Wednesday.Their work has had a “great impact on pharmaceutical research and has made chemistry greener,” it added.The two scientists have received the prestigious prize for developing a third catalyst in 2000 after researchers believed there were only two types of catalysts.

The Nobel Chemistry Prize is awarded to a trio of chemists for laying the foundation for a more functional form of chemistry. Americans Carolyn Bertozzi and Barry Sharpless, together with Denmark's Morten Meldal are honoured for "for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry". The award marks the second Nobel for 81-year-old Sharpless, who won the chemistry Nobel in 2001. SOUNDBITE

"I'm still trying to find my feet underneath me," Princeton professor David MacMillan tells a press conference after winning the Nobel Chemistry Prize -- an "incredibly surreal" experience, he says -- for his work developing a new tool to scale up chemical reactions in an environmentally friendly way, known as "organocatalysis."
