I'm starting a "Paper a Day" series, where I *plan* to summarize the key results in a handwritten scheme. I tell my students that organic chemistry is best retained through writing/practicing mechanisms and that certainly doesn't change as a professor
First up: Ni/Ir-catalyzed methylation of ArCl using trimethylorthoformate as a cool radical Me source (Doyle)

A dual light-driven Pd catalyst enables challenging OA and RE in carbonylation reactions by @ArndtsenBruce and co-workers in Science #1paper1day https://science.sciencemag.org/content/368/6488/318
Today's #1paper1day feature comes from the Jacobsen group. A chiral urea catalyst enables enantioselective polyene cyclizations via an olefin-mediated ionization pathway. Check out the beautifully written SI too 😍 https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jacs.0c02665
