Introduction

Keynote speakers: Professor Akira Suzuki and Professor Ei-ichi Negishi, 2010 Nobel Prize for Chemistry

The RSC is delighted to welcome Professor Suzuki and Professor Negishi to London on 13 June; both were made Honorary Fellows of the Royal Society of Chemistry. 

In 2010, Professors Akira Suzuki, Ei-ichi Negishi and Richard F. Heck were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on "palladium-catalysed cross couplings in organic synthesis". This chemical tool has dramatically improved the possibilities for chemists to synthesise more sophisticated molecules, such as complex natural products. As a result, it has found widespread applications; ranging from the production of medicines, more precise electronics and agrochemicals.  

This is an exceptional opportunity to hear from the scientists who developed arguably one of the most definitive reactions in organic synthesis.
