Artis spent four months as a visiting postdoctoral researcher in Prof. A. C. Spivey’s group (Imperial College London). Welcome back!
During his visit, Artis explored the capability of a series of chiral-DMAP organocatalysts developed in Prof. A. C. Spivey’s group as components of a dynamic kinetic resolution process for enantioselective acylation of sec-alcohols.
The visit was funded by PostDoc Latvija grant (ERDF grant No. 1.1.1.2/VIAA/3/19/589).
