Kagan and Kenso Soai “for the discovery of non-linear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis”, recognizing their discoveries in explaining how chemical reactions produce molecules with a specific handedness or chirality and amplify mirror-image imbalances, with Kagan showing that chiral catalyst amounts and molecular handedness do not always have a simple linear relationship to explain how small differences amplify during reactions, and Soai discovering asymmetric autocatalysis where a reaction product helps produce more of itself so a tiny initial imbalance grows into a much larger one in the Soai reaction 📑 FULL STORY ➠ https://ow.ly/wTcu50ZVi28 #NobelPrize #Chemistry #Science #Research #OrganicChemistry #GlobalTrends7m
