Table 1 Photocatalytic amination of hydroxyl acids to amino acids over CdS nanosheetsa.

From: Visible-light-driven amino acids production from biomass-based feedstocks over ultrathin CdS nanosheets

  1. a Reaction conditions: substrates 2 mmol, nanosheets 10 mg, 25 wt% ammonia solution 4 mL, 16 mL deaerated water, T = 50 oC, t = 8 h, 1 bar N2, and visible light.
  2. b C–H bond energy was calculated at the B3LYP/def2TZVP level of theory.
