Thieme-IUPAC Prize in Synthetic Organic Chemistry for
2004
Announced
Georg Thieme Verlag, the International Union of Pure and Applied
Chemistry and the Editors of Synthesis, Synlett and Houben-Weyl are
pleased to announce the recipient of the
Thieme-IUPAC Prize in Synthetic Organic Chemistry 2004
John F. Hartwig
John
F. Hartwig is the recipient of the 2004 Thieme-IUPAC Prize in recognition
of his outstanding achievements in the field of synthetic organic chemistry.
His research focuses on the discovery, development, and understanding
of new reactions catalyzed by transition metals and has had a direct
and relevant impact on synthetic chemists worldwide. The scope of his
research is extensive, covering areas such as amination of aryl halides,
a-arylation of carbonyl compounds, alkane
functionalization, hydroamination of olefins, and enantioselective allylic
amination and etherification. He will be presented the prize at ICOS-15
in Nagoya, Japan, on 3 August, 2004.

The Thieme-IUPAC Prize is awarded every two years on the occasion of
IUPACs International Conference on Organic Synthesis (ICOS) to
a scientist under 40 years of age, whose research has had a major impact
on the field of synthetic organic chemistry. The Prize is sponsored
jointly by Georg Thieme Verlag, IUPAC, and the editors of Synthesis,
Synlett, Science of Synthesis, and Houben-Weyl.
