Nobel Prize in Chemistry (1990, BOM)

The 1990 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Elias Corey for developing a systematic way to understand and predict the structures and reactions of complex organic molecules. His work enabled scientists to design new compounds with specific functions, such as medicines. Corey’s methods involve identifying key parts of molecules and planning how to assemble them efficiently. This breakthrough greatly advanced organic chemistry, making it easier to create new drugs and materials, and deepened our understanding of molecular building blocks in chemistry.
