A series of symmetrical 1,4-disubstituted buta-1,3-diynes is prepared with excellent yields (up to 95%) through homocoupling of terminal alkynes catalyzed by a copper salt under solvent-free conditions. This method provides an environmentally friendly process to prepare 1,3-diynes in short reaction times under mild conditions. Furthermore, the method is suitable for a wide substrate scope and has excellent functional group compatibility. The reaction can also be scaled up to gram level.

Non-proteinogenic amino acids have attracted tremendous interest for their essential applications in the realm of biology and chemistry. Recently, rising C–H functionalization has been considered an alternative powerful method for the direct synthesis of non-proteinogenic amino acids. Meanwhile, photochemistry has become popular for its predominant advantages of mild conditions and conservation of energy. Therefore, C–H functionalization and photochemistry have been merged to synthesize diverse non-proteinogenic amino acids in a mild and environmentally friendly way. In this review, the recent developments in the photo-mediated C–H functionalization of proteinogenic amino acids derivatives for the rapid synthesis of versatile non-proteinogenic amino acids are presented. Moreover, postulated mechanisms are also described wherever needed.

2-Substituted benzimidazoles are selectively synthesised in high yields via the condensation of o-phenylenediamine derivatives with aldehyde derivatives using catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid coated natural phosphate (NP/PTSA) under mild conditions. The use of NP/PTSA as a reusable catalyst makes this process simple, convenient, and environmentally friendly.

A diethyl phosphite mediated electrochemical oxidation strategy for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones from tetrahydroisoquinolines under mild conditions has been developed. This protocol provides an environmentally friendly and simple way for the construction of C=O bonds in an undivided cell unit.
