chen chen li - Catalysis

Author Information

Chen-Chen Li is currently affiliated with the Department of Chemistry and the FRQNT Centre for Green Chemistry and Catalysis at McGill University, located at 801 Sherbrooke St. W., Montreal, Quebec H3A 0B8, Canada. Chen-Chen Li's research focus is on catalysis, with a particular interest in carbonyl umpolung, redox-neutral reactions, and catalytic transformations involving alcohols and hydrazine.

Research Contributions

Chen-Chen Li has made significant contributions to the field of catalysis, with a particular focus on innovative catalytic transformations. Recent work includes the development of methodologies for direct allylation and olefination of carbohydrates, carbonyl umpolung as organometallic reagent surrogates, and C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond formation via nickel-catalyzed deoxygenative homo-coupling of aldehydes/ketones. Other notable contributions include copper-catalyzed conjugate additions, synergistic relay reactions for redox-neutral α-alkylations, and empowering alcohols as carbonyl surrogates for Grignard-type reactions. Additionally, Chen-Chen Li has explored direct catalytic methanol-to-ethanol photoconversion and light-enabled metal-free pinacol coupling by hydrazine.
