ACS - Elias J. Corey Award for Outstanding Original Contribution in Organic Synthesis by a Young Investigator

Organization: American Chemical Society

The award shall be granted to an individual under the age of forty (at the time of the nomination deadline) who has demonstrated outstanding creativity in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. A nominee must have accomplished research that is of exceptional merit and adds value to the field, such as the contribution of a novel and highly useful reagent, reaction or catalytic process that solves a synthetic problem of considerable importance. Special consideration will be given to the application of such novel chemistry towards the synthesis of natural products and organic molecules of medicinal importance, and to the discovery of novel reactions or processes with broad utility.
