About
Chengcheng Zhong is a rising star in synthetic organic chemistry, with a focus on developing sustainable, metal-free methodologies for complex molecular construction. His research centers on visible-light photocatalysis and the integration of automated, high-throughput screening systems to accelerate reaction discovery. Zhong’s most notable contribution is a groundbreaking 2024 study on the stereoselective intramolecular oxyamination of alkynes, which achieved 100% atom economy and high regio- and stereocontrol without any metal catalysts. This work, enabled by a custom robotic photocatalytic screening platform, represents a significant leap toward greener, more efficient synthesis of nitrogen- and oxygen-containing heterocycles—key motifs in pharmaceuticals. Although early in his career, with his flagship paper already garnering 4 citations, Zhong’s innovative fusion of automation and photochemistry positions him at the forefront of next-generation reaction development. His approach promises to streamline the discovery of new transformations, reducing waste and time while expanding the chemical space accessible to synthetic chemists.
