Despite the widespread application for primary amines as nucleophiles, the potential for facile deaminative functionalization using primary amines, particularly sterically hindered α-tertiary amines, has remained less explored. Herein, the authors report catalytic direct synthesis of aliphatic diazenes from sterically hindered α-tertiary amines.
