Who shared the 1979 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Georg Wittig for developing boron- and phosphorus-containing compounds, respectively, as reagents in organic synthesis?

Explanation

Herbert C. Brown shared the 1979 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Georg Wittig. Brown’s part concerned boron-containing reagents and Wittig’s phosphorus-containing reagents in organic synthesis. Their award recognises the development of these reagents rather than one identical reaction carried out by both chemists.
