William Standish Knowles (June 1, 1917 – June 13, 2012) was an American chemist. He was born in Taunton, Massachusetts. Knowles was one of the recipients of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He split half the prize with Ryōji Noyori for their work in asymmetric synthesis, specifically for his work in hydrogenation reactions.
William Standish Knowles (Taunton, 1 de junho de 1917 — 13 de junho de 2012 [1]) foi um químico estadunidense. Conjuntamente com Ryōji Noyori e Barry Sharpless , foi agraciado com o Nobel de Química de 2001 pelo seu trabalho sobre as reações de hidrogenação catalisadas por quiralidade .
Bill Knowles was able to look back on his career and at what is being done now. Asymmetric hydrogenation is now a key tool for the manufacture of molecules used in the life science industry. He saw monodentate phosphorus ligands being used for asymmetric hydrogenations after a hiatus of over 30 years.
