David Milstein is Israel Matz Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Weizmann Institute of Science. During postdoctoral research at Colorado State University, together with his advisor John Stille, he discovered the Stille Reaction.
Milstein’s research focuses on the development of fundamental organometallic chemistry and its application to the design and implementation of new environmentally benign processes catalyzed by transition metal complexes. Milstein’s group has developed a new mode of metal-ligand cooperation, leading to environmentally benign catalytic reactions, including several synthetically useful reactions that either produce hydrogen or consume it. These reactions are efficient, proceed under neutral conditions and produce no waste.
