title: A family of low molecular-weight, organic catalysts for reductive C-C bond formation.
abstract: Hydrazines form a new family of low molecular-weight reducing agents for diazonium salts. Using only small amounts of hydrazine catalyst, the coupling of diazonium salts to a variety of reactive partners has been achieved, without the requirement for either metal adjuvants or irradiation with visible or ultraviolet light. The generality of the concept proposed herein as well as its advantages in the preparative scale is outlined and discussed.
