John F. Hartwig (1964)

American chemist, professor at Yale University and the University of Illinois and, since 2011, at the University of California, Berkeley.

At the same time as Stephen Buchwald he developed the palladium-catalysed amination of aryl halides and studied its mechanism in detail, in particular the reductive elimination that forms the C–N bond. He has also worked on the catalytic functionalization of C–H bonds, such as the borylation of alkanes and arenes.
