Recent Advances in Nitrogen–Nitrogen Bond Formation

Abstract

Over the last decade, N–N bond formation as a synthetic strategy has emerged as a powerful key step in the construction of highly valuable heterocycles from easily obtained materials. This review focuses on recent methods used to build N–N bonds, classified by intra- and intermolecular reactions with various types of N–X (O, C, N, H) bond cleavage.
