Abstract

α-Amino carbanion equivalents (NH2) and α-hydrazino anion equivalents (NHNH2) are readily accessible from the C-alkylation products of t-butyldiphenylmethylhydrazones; these azoalkanes can be efficiently transformed into amines, hydrazines, and also alkanes under mild reaction conditions.
