Center for Catalytic Hydrocarbon Functionalizations
Professor Chang's group studies new organic reactions and mechanisms with transition metal catalysis. Research topics in our group have ranged in the development of new useful synthetic methodologies based on transition metal chemistry, synthesis of biologically important products, organic catalysis, chirality amplification and molecular mechanics based on molecular assembly. Research goals include transition metal catalyzed C–H bond functionalization for the carbon–carbon bond and carbon–heteroatom bond formation, development of useful catalytic organic transformations, methane activation and catalytic de-functionalization.
(05/15/2025) We had a heartwarming Teacher’s Day celebration filled with good food and great company. The evening featured delicious pizza and a sweet mango cake! Bumgu and Eojin prepared a thoughtful poster, compiling letters from all the group members to Prof. Chang—a heartfelt tribute to his guidance and support. It was a wholesome dinner shared by the whole group, making the celebration truly special.
(04/24/2025 ~ 04/25/2025) Our group attended the 135th General Meeting of the Korean Chemical Society, held at the Suwon Convention Center. It was a valuable opportunity to attend plenary lectures, and Qing, Eojin, and Minjeong presented posters demonstrating their individual research.
(04/22/2025) KAIST and IBS collaborated to host the 2nd KAIST-IBS Cross-Generational Symposium on Organic Chemistry (CGSOC): The Three Generations. Esteemed professors from across the country gathered to share their outstanding research. We were also honored to welcome Professor Eric N. Jacobsen, who traveled across the world to deliver an insightful lecture on his groundbreaking work.
(04/04/2025) We had our annual Strawberry party with Hong and Baik groups from the Center for Catalytic Hydrocarbon Functionalizations! The warm sunlight and gentle breezes made the perfect atmosphere for a picnic beneath the cherry blossoms.
(02/25/2025) Xiang's paper entitled "Nickel-Catalyzed Asymmetric Homobenzylic Hydroamidation of Aryl Alkenes to Access Chiral β-Arylamides" is now accepted for publication at JACS! Congratulations to Xiang, Eojin and Dongwook!
(02/17/2025) Hoimin and Jeonguk's paper entitled "Catalytic Amino Group Transfer Reactions Mediated by Photoinduced Nitrene Formation from Rhodium-Hydroxamates" is now accepted for publication at Angewandte Chemie International Edition! Congratulations to Hoimin and Jeonguk!
