REVOLUTIONARY RESEARCH IN
ORGANIC SYNTHESIS EARNS HOKKAIDO
ITS FIRST NOVEL PRIZE
Emeritus Professor Akira Suzuki of Hokkaido University (formerly a professor at the School of Engineering) was
awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his innovative research in cross-coupling chemical reactions
for the synthesis of organic compounds.
Cross-coupling has applications in a wide range of fields
(e.g., medicine, agricultural chemicals, liquid crystals used in IT equipment, and organic EL as a new generation of luminescent materials),
and represents a major contribution to the development and commercial manufacture of products commonly seen in today's world.
