Abstract: The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2021 returned to the basis of chemistry—synthetic chemistry, and was awarded to Benjamin List and David W. C. MacMillan for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis. This concept was formed and developed in the beginning of 21st century, and many Chinese chemists had been involved in this area. This paper was dedicated to the Chinese chemists, who contributed much thoughts and breakthrough in the area of organocatalysis in the last two decades.
