The Horst Pracejus Prize honors scientists with outstanding work in the field of enantioselectivity or chirality. The GDCh launched the award in 1997. The namesake Pracejus was known for his research in the field of chiral catalysis and Head of the Catalysis Research Institute in Rostock. This was a branch of the Central Institute for Organic Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR.
The GDCh awarded Professor Albrecht Berkessel the Horst Pracejus Prize in recognition of his diverse and outstanding contributions
for enantioselective synthesis, especially for his pioneering work in the characterization of important intermediates in carbene catalysis and the asymmetric epoxidation of terminal olefins.
