Akira suzuki nobel prize

Became interested in organic chemistry after reading textbook. Memories of tough, trying experiences tend to fade with time. Now I think mainly about fun things. By Dan Lednicer Ph. The Nobel Prize was awarded for such a development. The prize was given jointly to Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi and Akira Suzuki for "for palladium-catalyzed cross couplings in organic synthesis".

Future Nobel laureate Akira Suzuki has spent almost his entire life on Hokaido, the large Japanese island north of better-known Honshu. He was born in in Mukawa, a town on Hokaido. On completing high school he enrolled in the University of Hokaido in Sapporo. An early interest in organic chemistry led Suzuki to major in that discipline.
