Asymmetric organocatalysis [26] is particularly important in bioactive organic compounds, where the chirality of the compounds is important, for example in drug production. [20] On 6 October 2021, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with David MacMillan "for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis."
Frederick Sanger is one out of three laureates to be awarded the Nobel Prize twice in the same subject, in 1958 and 1980.
