    Yitzhak Apeloig, professor in the faculty of chemistry at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, and president of the Technion, has received the 2002 Israel Chemical Society Prize. Apeloig is recognized "for his imaginative implementation of quantum mechanical calculations, providing elegant examples of the germination of ideas for experiments that have led to the discovery of new chemistry." His work has played a pivotal role in developing a fundamental understanding of organosilicon chemistry.

    Prof. Yitzhak Apeloig, from the Technion is awarded the Israel Chemical Society Prize for the year 2002.
    Yitzhak Apeloig is a Professor in the Faculty of Chemistry at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, and is currently the President of the Technion.He did his Ph.D. with Professor Zvi Rappoport of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in the field of solvolytic generation of vinyl cations. He pursued his postdoctoral studies with Prof. P.v.R. Schleyer at Princeton University in Collaboration with Prof. J.A. Pople of Carnegie Mellon. In 1976 he joined the Technion faculty.
    Professor Apeloig was one of the first experimentalists to recognize the vast potential of ab initio quantum mechanical calculations for organic chemistry. Soon after joining the Technion he succeeded in bringing together a unique combination of experimental techniques and theoretical prowess to solve challenging problems in the area of reactive species in silicon chemistry. These species included: doubly- and triply-bonded silicon compounds, divalent silicon compounds (silylenes), silyl cations and anions. Apeloig's theoretical and experimental work has played a pivotal role in developing a fundamental understanding of organosilicon chemistry. Based on his own theoretical predictions, he was the first to detect experimentally (in cooperation with Prof. Helmut Schwarz of Berlin), molecules containing carbon-silicon triple bonds – one of the "Holy Grails" of silicon chemistry. He edited (with Z. Rappoport) four volumes on organosilicon compounds,which are the authoritative books in the field. Apeloig is also renowned for his seminal discoveries in hydrocarbon chemistry, dealing with small ring compounds and reactive intermediates such as carbocations, carbenes and free radicals.
    Yitzhak Apeloig is being honored with the Israel Chemical Society Award 2002 for his Imaginative implementation of quantum mechanical calculation, providing elegant examples of the germination of ideas for experiments that have lead to the discovery of new chemistry. His research has convincingly exemplified the synergistic use of theory and experiment as an effective way to discover and explore chemistry, setting an example to many others. His work has played a pivotal role in developing a fundamental understading of organosilicon chemistry. He is a role model for modern physical organic chemists.
    Yitzhak Apeloig (born September 1, 1944 in Uzbekistan[2]) is a pioneer in the computational chemistry field of the Ab initio quantum chemistry methods for predicting and preparing the physical and chemical properties of materials.[3] He was the president of theTechnion from 2001 until 2009 where the position was handed off to Peretz Lavie. Distinguished Prof. Apeloig currently holds the Joseph Israel Freund Chair in Chemistry and is the co-director of the Lise Meitner Minerva Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry at the Technion. He served as dean of the Faculty of Chemistry from 1995 to 1999, where he was named Teacher of the Year at three occasions.
    During his Technion presidency, Prof. Apeloig actively recruited of more than 150 elite scholars and scientists worldwide to the Technion.[4] He also established a number of interdisciplinary research centers such as the Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute. He also established the Lorry I. Lokey Interdisciplinary Center for Life Sciences and Engineering.
    In 2010 was inducted to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[4] The same year he also became a recipient of the Frederic Stanley Kipping Award in Silicon Chemistry.[5]

    Biography

    Yitzhak was born in Uzbekistan[2] after his family fled from the Nazis after the invasion of Poland in September 1939. In 1947 the family immigrated to Israel. He served in the Nahal Brigade and the paratroopers between 1962 and 1964. He received his BA in physics and chemistry in 1967. In 1969 he completed his Masters in Chemistry, and in 1974 his doctorate in chemistry.
    Yitzhak joined the faculty of the Technion in 1976 and in 1983 he was appointed professor. He became the dean of the Faculty of Chemistry in 1995 until 1998 when he became the president of the Technion.

    Abstract

    Abstract Image
    Diastereoisomerically pure (dr > 99:1) and enantiomerically enriched (er up to 98:2) substituted propargyl diols possessing a tertiary hydroxyl group were synthesized in a single-pot operation from simple acylsilanes through a combined catalytic enantioselective alkynylation of acylsilanes, followed by an allenyl-Zn-Brook rearrangement and Zn-ene-allene (or Zn-yne-allene) cyclization reaction. Two remarkable features of these reactions are the near complete transfer of chirality in the allenyl-Zn-Brook rearrangement and the highly organized six-membered transition state of the Zn-ene-allene carbocyclization found by DFT calculations. In this process, three new bonds and two new stereogenic centers are created in a single-pot operation in excellent diastereo- and enantiomeric ratios. DFT calculations show that the allenyl-Zn-Brook rearrangement occurs in preference to the classic [1,2]-Zn-Brook rearrangement owing to its significantly lower activation barrier.,,,,,http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jo501977r
