Abstract
An acid-mediated electrophilic hydrazinative halogenation of alkenes proceeds with readily available diethyl azodicarboxylate as a hydrazine source and low-cost potassium halides as nucleophilic halogen sources. A series of iodinated, brominated, and chlorinated hydrazines are facilely produced with a wide range of functional groups.

General synthetic procedure
To a 10 mL vial equipped with a stir bar were added alkene (0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv), DEAD (0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv), KI (0.4 mmol, 2.0 equiv) and DCM (1.0 mL, 0.2 M). The mixture was cooled to 0°C, and then TfOH (0.3 mmol, 1.5 equiv) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred at 0°C. After 10 min, Na2S2O3 (2.0 M solution in H2O, 0.4 mmol, 2.0 equiv) was added. The mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 1 h. After the reaction was completed, the residue was directly purified by flash silica gel column chromatography (eluent: PE / EA = 10 : 1 to 5 : 1, v/v) to afford the desired product.
