The semiconductor catalyzed photoaddition of cyclopentene or cyclohexene to various novel electron-poor imines of type p-XC(6)H(4)(CN)C[double bond, length as m-dash]N(COPh) (X = H, F, Cl, Br, Me, MeO) was investigated as a function of the nature of the cadmium sulfide photocatalyst. Irradiation (lambda>/= 350 nm) of silica supported cadmium sulfide surprisingly did not afford the expected olefin-imine adducts but an imine hydrocyanation product via an unprecedented dark reaction. However, when silica was replaced by zinc sulfide as the support for cadmium sulfide, the expected homoallylic N-benzoyl-alpha-amino cyanides were isolated in yields of 65-84%.

Novel unsaturated N-phenyl-alpha-amino esters were synthesized in isolated yields of 50 to 10% by visible light irradiation of methanolic suspensions of silica-supported cadmium sulfide in the presence of methyl (2Z)-phenyl(phenylimino)acetate and various cyclic olefins. A semiconductor photocatalysis mechanism is proposed for this linear addition reaction. The light-generated electron-hole pair in the oxidative step induces a dissociative electron transfer from the olefin to CdS affording a proton and an allylic radical, whereas in the reductive step an alpha-aminobenzyl radical is formed in a proton coupled reaction.
