Emerging trends in the sustainable synthesis of N–N bond bearing organic scaffolds

Abstract

N–N bond bearing organic frameworks such as azos, hydrazines, indazoles, triazoles and their structural moieties have piqued the interest of organic chemists due to the intrinsic nitrogen electronegativity. Recent methodologies with atom efficacy and a greener approach have overcome the synthetic obstacles of N–N bond construction from N–H. As a result, a wide range of amine oxidation methods have been reported early on. This review's vision emphasizes the emerging methods of N–N bond formation, particularly photo, electro, organo and transition metal free chemical methods.
