  • 1. General information:

    All solvents were dried and distilled prior to use by standard procedures and

    chemicals were either used as received or purified according to the procedures outlined

    in Purification of Common Laboratory Chemicals1. Glassware used was dried in oven or

    flame dried under vacuum and cooled under inert atmosphere. Reactions were

    monitored by TLC and visualized by a dual shortwave/longwave UV lamp and stained

    with an ethanolic solution of potassium permanganate or vanillin. Column flash

    chromatography was performed using gel 60 (230−400 mesh), and analytical thin-layer

    chromatography (TLC) was performed using silica gel aluminum sheets. Yields refer to

    chromatographically and spectroscopically pure compounds, unless otherwise noted. 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra were recorded at 400 MHz. for 1H and 100 MHz for 13C.

    Chemical shifts (δ) are reported in parts per million relative to tetramethylsilane (TMS),

    and coupling constants (J) are reported in hertz. All signals are reported in ppm with the

    internal reference of 7.26 ppm or 77.0 ppm for chloroform. Data are presented as

    follows: multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, quint = quintet, m =

    multiplet, br = broad, dd = doublet of doublet, dt = doublet of triplet), coupling constant

    (J/Hz) and integration.

    In a round bottom flask containing a solution of 2-haloaniline (4.50 mmol, 1

    equiv). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 h, then quenched by

    addition of water (10 mL). The reaction mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 x 20 mL)

    and the combined organic layers were washed with an aqueous CuSO4 solution (10%,

    3 x 20 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced

    pressure. The crude mixture was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane/EtOAc)

    to afford the corresponding tosyl-protected aniline. All spectroscopic data are in

    accordance with seminal literature.

    diethyl ether (3 x 10mL) and the combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous

    Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude residue was purified by silica gel

    chromatography (hexane/EtOAc) to afford N-tosyl-propargyl aniline. All spectroscopic

    data are in accordance with seminal literature.

    (0.35 mL, 3.0 mmol) in dichloromethane (15 mL), precooled to 10 oC, was added I2 (760

    mg, 3.0 mmol). After the solid iodine was completely dissolved, acrylic acid (204.7 µL,

    3.0 mmol) and Et3N (0.70 mL, 5.0 mmol) were added in sequential order, and the

    solution was stirred for 10 min in a cooling bath. The substituted aniline (2.0 mmol) was

    then added and the mixture was stirred for 10 min. After removing the cooling bath, the

    reaction mixture was stirred for additionally 3 h at room temperature (reaction monitored

    by TLC), then diluted with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and extracted with

    dichloromethane (3 x 30 mL). The combined organic layer was sequentially washed

    with water, 1N HCl and brine (3 x 20mL) dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and then

    purified by flash chromatography (hexane/EtOAc) to afford substituted N-acrylamide. All

    spectroscopy data are accordance with seminal literature.

    (70 μl, 0.60 mmol, 1.2 equiv) was added dropwise and the reaction mixture was allowed

    to warm to room temperature and stirred overnight. The reaction was quenched with

    water and THF was removed by evaporation. The residue was extracted with ethyl

    acetate twice, and the organic phase was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered

    and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (hexane/EtOAc)

    to afford the desired product. All spectroscopy data are accordance with seminal

  • 3. Kinetic Study using the model reaction

    The kinetic study was performed using the GC-MS equipment, giving us the possibility

    to build the calibration curves and, consequently, the kinetic curves using the kinetic

    equation. Solutions at different concentration of 1a and TTMSS (obtained by diluting the original stock solution with MeCN) were prepared.

    Each one of the expressions above provides a graph that can be used to

    determine the order with respect to the reagents. Graphically, a straight line is

    necessary to be achieved. Supported by this concept we started our studies to

    investigate the kinetics of our photo mediated reaction.

    First, the expression of first order for both reagents was applied, the following

    graphs were obtained:

    From there obtained results, it is possible to observed that both reagents

    following first order kinetics is a better fit. Furthermore, we applied another expression

    that relates both reagents in a single expression, i.e.:

  • 𝑘𝑡 = ( 1[𝐵]0 ‒ [𝐴]0)𝑙𝑛([𝐴]0[𝐵]

    [𝐵]0[𝐴])

    Using the rate expression and analyzing the graph, we can conclude that this reaction is second order overall, being first order for each reagent.

    Comment: The kinetic study provided us a virtuous interpretation of this photo-mediated process. Since the best adjustment of the curve was using the last expression

    that correlated both reagents by a single expression - the overall reaction order being

    two, first order in regard to each reagent. Having made this observation, we can

    conclude that both reagents are involved in the rate determining step.

  • 4. Ultraviolet-Visible Experiment

    We were interested to confirm that a complex between the starting material 1a and the silicon-based reagent (TTMSS) is responsible for the energy absorption. Thus,

    all the spectra are recorded in MeCN using the same concentrations as in the reaction

    conditions.

    prepared using 0,5 ml of MeCN and 1 cm cuvettes were used.

    Upon mixing 1a and TTMSS, a new absorption band is observed (green line in Figure S9). Additionally, changes in visual color appearance is observed when the reagents are mixed, indicating the formation of a transient interaction between the

    reagents (EDA Complex).

  • To complete the mechanistic study as well as emphasizing the requirement of

    visible light irradiation, the reaction was performed using successive interval of
