A new chemistry of azo compounds that is a radical generation and addition in situ of azocarboxylic tert-butyl esters to synthesize hydrazines has been described. The protocol provides a novel strategy for the synthesis of various hydrazines. The advantages of the transformation include broad substrate scope, benign conditions, and convenient operation.
