In 2010 he received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the Negishi coupling together with Richard F. Heck and Akira Suzuki .

Life

Negishi received a Bachelor of Science from Tokyo University in 1958 and a Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania in 1963. As well as after obtaining his B.Sc. he then worked for the pharmaceutical company Teijin . In 1966 he became an assistant professor at Brown University and then came through the University of Syracuse in 1979 to Purdue University , where he has taught since then.

His main areas of work were palladium or nickel catalyzed coupling reactions such as the Negishi coupling named after him, as well as carbometalation of alkenes and alkynes . If zinc , aluminum or zirconium organometallic compounds are used in the coupling reaction , one speaks of a Negishi coupling .
