Yanyao Liu works in synthetic organic chemistry, focusing on developing new chemical reactions that use metal catalysts to build molecules. A notable line of work involves iron-catalyzed methods for joining together aldehydes and alkenes (common types of organic building blocks) in controlled, selective ways. This research contributes tools that chemists can use to construct complex molecules more efficiently.
