In the embodiments, an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution and an organic solvent instead of hydrogen chloride gas and solid triphosgene instead of phosgene gas may be used in the process of preparing a diisocyanate from a diamine through a diamine hydrochloride. In addition, the embodiments provide processes for preparing a diisocyanate composition and an optical lens, which are excellent in yield and quality with mitigated environmental problems by controlling the total content of metals, cations, or anions in a diamine hydrochloride composition.

Methods described herein enable the production of numerous molecular species through decarboxylative cross-coupling via use of photoredox and transition metal catalysts. For example, methods described herein enable the production of numerous molecular species through decarboxylative cross-coupling via use of photoredox and transition metal catalysts. A method described herein, in some embodiments, comprises providing a reaction mixture including a photoredox catalyst, a transition metal catalyst, a coupling partner and a substrate having a carboxyl group. The reaction mixture is irradiated with a radiation source resulting in cross-coupling of the substrate and coupling partner via a mechanism including decarboxylation, wherein the coupling partner is selected from the group consisting of a substituted aromatic compound and a substituted aliphatic compound.
