Synthetic Organic Chemistry Award

The Synthetic Organic Chemistry Award was established in 1971. Between 1971 and 2020, this award recognised an individual for the development of new methods or strategies employed in the construction of organic molecules.

In 2020, as part of a series of changes introduced following an independent review of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s recognition programmes, this award evolved to one of our new Horizon Prizes, which highlight the most exciting, contemporary chemical science at the cutting edge of research and innovation. The Robert Robinson Award in Synthetic Organic Chemistry recognises significant recent novel discoveries or advances made in the field of synthetic organic chemistry.
