Abstract:

5-Alkenyl hydantoins are converted into bycyclic or tricyclic hydantoins under indirect electrochemical conditions generating selenium cations. Regiospecific 5-exo ring closure process occurred. The reactions proceeded in good yields and the influence of electrochemical conditions on diastereoselectivity of the reactions are investigated.

Keywords: selenium, hydantoins, cyclization, electrosynthesis, selectivity
