Sustainable C(sp3)-H Bond Functionalization

Prof. Chengjian Zhu was bornin Henan, China in 1966. He obtained his Ph.D. from Shanghai Institute ofOrganic Chemistry (CAS) in 1996 under the supervision of Professor ChangtaoQian, and subsequently worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Université deBourgogne, University of Oklahoma, and the University of Houston from 1997 to2000. He joined Nanjing University as an associate professor in 2000, and hasbeen a full professor there since 2003. He has published more than 100publications in international journals. His research interests lie in organicsynthetic methodology, asymmetric catalysis and organometallic chemistry. Dr. Jin Xie was born in Chongqing, China in 1985. He received his B.S. from Northeast Forestry University in 2008 and his Ph.D. in 2013 from Nanjing University under the direction of Professor Chengjian Zhu. He is currently working as a postdoctoral research associate in Professor A. S. K. Hashmi’s group at Heidelberg University.
