Morten Meldal
K. Barry Sharpless
This question was previously asked in
UPSC NDA-1 – 2023
The correct answer is B) Benjamin List.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2022 was awarded jointly to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal, and K. Barry Sharpless for their groundbreaking work on click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry. Benjamin List was a co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in the *previous* year, 2021, along with David W.C. MacMillan, for their development of asymmetric organocatalysis. Therefore, Benjamin List was not a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2022.
Click chemistry is a concept introduced by Barry Sharpless, focusing on reactions that are fast, reliable, and result in high yields, enabling the efficient building of molecules. Morten Meldal and Barry Sharpless independently discovered the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), a cornerstone click reaction. Carolyn Bertozzi took click chemistry to a new dimension by developing bioorthogonal reactions, which can occur inside living organisms without interfering with native biochemical processes, allowing for the study of biological molecules.
