1,3,2-diazaphospholenes catalyze metal-free transfer hydrogenation of a N=N double bond using ammonia–borane under mild reaction conditions, thus allowing access to various hydrazine derivatives. Kinetic and computational studies revealed that the rate-determining step involves simultaneous breakage...
