I wonder if there is more than just cycling the polarity, it may well be that dynamic waveforms could be used for specific applications for selectivity.
Trouble is, it appears you are limited in scale in the lab due to the electrochemistry necessary. Not practical if you want to scale up for total synthesis for example.

Someone get Baran a Nobel Prize already!
I know! This guy's mind is impressive, I have been following his work since 2005!
Very stunning and informative lecture. Thanks a lot for kindly sharing your expertise and experiences.

He shows it in the slides but the reducing agent is not electrons as stated but the pivalic acid.

this method was discussed in my days at a major pharmaceutical company for continuous manufacturing, it will boil down to cost at some point in time.
