Hydrazine
Name Reactions
Recent Literature

Various olefins can be hydrogenated quantitatively with neutral, flavin-derived
catalysts in the presence of hydrazine under an under an athomspheric pressure
of O2. A vitamin B2 derivative acts as a highly efficient
and robust catalyst for the an environmentally benign process producing water
and nitrogen gas as the only waste products.

Olefins can be hydrogenated by treatment with hydrazine in the presence
of a 5-ethyl-3-methyllumiflavinium perchlorate catalyst under O2
atmosphere to give the corresponding hydrogenated products in excellent
yields along with environmentally benign water and molecular nitrogen as
the only waste products.
