Sukbok Chang is a researcher at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) and KAIST, specializing in transition metal-catalyzed C–H bond activation and functionalization. His work focuses on developing efficient strategies for C–C and C–N bond formation through oxidative C–H amination and amidation reactions. Chang's research explores the use of organic azides, sulfonyl azides, and dioxazolones as nitrogen sources in catalytic processes. He has contributed significantly to the synthesis of N-sulfonylamidines, carbazoles, and aromatic nitriles through one-pot reactions and cooperative multi-catalyst systems. His studies emphasize the mechanistic understanding of C–H amination and the development of mild, versatile, and selective methodologies for organic synthesis.
