Amination of Arylboronic Compounds via the Copper-Catalyzed Addition of Arylboronic Esters

Arylboronic esters add to di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate under mild reaction conditions (at room temperature) to afford aryl-substituted­ hydrazine derivatives in good yields. The reaction tolerates a wide variety of functional groups.
