Influence of electrochemical conditions on the regio- and stereoselectivity of selenocyclization of alkenyl hydantoins [PDF]
5-Alkenyl hydantoins and alkenyl spirohydantoins are converted into bicyclic and tricyclic hydantoins, under indirect electrochemical conditions, generating the phenylselenyl cation in situ. The reactions proceeded in good to exelent yields.

Bifunctional Photocatalysts: Exploiting Proximity for Enhanced Reaction Performance. [PDF]
This review covers the application of the bifunctional approach to photocatalysis as a means to attain (enhanced) enantioselectivity, and, more in general, as a strategy to enhance the catalytic performance through an effective use of short‐lived reaction intermediates.
