Xiaohua Liu The author presented on this page has published her 20. article in Angewandte Chemie in the last 10 years: “Enantioselective Radical-Polar Crossover Reactions of Indanonecarboxamides with Alkenes”: X. Y. Zhang, W. B. Wu, W. D. Cao, H. Yu, X. Xu, X. H. Liu, X. M. Feng, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2020, 59, 4846; Angew. Chem. 2020, 132, 4876. The work of X. H. Liu has been featured on the back cover of Angewandte Chemie: “Asymmetric Ring Opening/Cyclization/Retro-Mannich Reaction of Cyclopropyl Ketones with Aryl 1,2-Diamines for the Synthesis of Benzimidazole Derivatives”: Y. Xia, L. L. Lin, F. Z. Chang, Y. T. Liao, X. H. Liu, X. M. Feng, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2016, 55, 12228; Angew. Chem. 2016, 128, 12416.

My favorite time of day is when I enjoy my walks in the garden. My favorite drink is green tea and coffee. My favorite way to spend a holiday is to stay with my family. If I had one year of paid leave I would travel around the world. My favorite painter is Baishi Qi, a master in traditional Chinese painting. What I appreciate most about my friends is their encouragement, support, and company. The most important thing I learned from my students is passion and persistence. My science “heroes” are Pasteur, Einstein, Pauling, Mendeleev, Woodward, Stork, and more. My favorite reactions are rearrangement reactions wherein groups move and recombine. When I was eighteen I wanted to be an architect, but now I am a molecular constructor. I am waiting for the day when someone will discover equipment to make a real movie of a catalytic reaction. The biggest challenges facing scientists are keeping curiosity and avoiding interruptions. Chemistry is fun because it is useful, creative, and logical—and substantial. Young people should study chemistry because chemistry is so close to our life and chemical experiments provide true results.
