Abstract
Visible light mediated decarboxylative functionalization of carboxylic acids and their derivatives has recently emerged as a novel and powerful toolkit for small molecule activation in diverse carbon-carbon and carbon-hetero bond forming reactions. Naturally abundant highly functionalized bench-stable carboxylic acid analogs have been employed as promising alternatives to non-trivial organometallic reagents for mild and eco-benign synthetic transformation with traceless CO2 by-products. In this highlight article, we focus on the development of various photodecarboxylative functionalization strategies along with intra/inter-molecular cyclization via concerted single electron transfer (SET) or energy transfer (ET) pathways. Moreover, widely explored carboxylic acids are systematically classified here into four categories; i.e., α-keto, aliphatic, α,β-unsaturated, and aromatic analogs for a concise overview to the readership. The association of decarboxylative radical species with coupling partners to construct C-C and C-N/O/S/P/X bonds for each analogous acid has been presented in brief.

Abstract
α-Amino acids have been widely recognized as environmental-benign and non-fossil carbon sources both in biological and synthetic chemistry. In recent years, with the remarkable development of visible-light photocatalysis in organic synthesis, α-amino acid and its derivatives have received tremendous attention as radical precursors via photocatalyzed decarboxylation, thus realizing diverse aminoalkylated transformations or constructions of novel N-bearing heterocyclic motifs by taking advantage of N-atoms from α-amino acid. This review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the recent exploitation of α-amino acids in visible light photocatalysis, with particular emphasis on the types of α-amino acids employed and their distinct mechanisms applied wherein.

Abstract
A new photocatalyst-free strategy for the cross-dehydrogenative C-C and C-P coupling reaction has been described. This protocol provides a concise method to synthesize various 1-substituted tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) derivatives enabled by visible-light direct excitation of substrates without using any photocatalyst. Moreover, a wide substrate scope demonstrated good synthetic versatility and practicality.

Abstract
A new two-step one-pot aminobromination/chlorination of carbonyl alkynes has been achieved via a Michael addition of aliphatic secondary amines and subsequent β-bromination/chlorination of the obtained enamines to afford various α-X (X = Br or Cl) enamino ketones/esters in moderate to good yields. A solvent-controllable protocol has been developed to produce versatile 3-(2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl)acrylates in moderate yields by using toluene as the solvent and chain alkyl propiolates as alkynyl substrates.
