Radical-mediated reactions have many advantages in the construction of complex molecular scaffolds by forging chemical bonds of high challenge. Diazenes, including 1, 1-diazenes and 1, 2-diazenes, can generate biradical species via nitrogen extrusion under thermal or photochemical conditions. The superior reactivity of the generated biradical enables various types of synthetic transformations with excellent chemoselectivity and has been applied to the complex natural products synthesis. In this mini-review, the modes of reaction are summarized and discussed, namely ring contraction via nitrogen deletion, homo or heterodimerization, trimethylenemethane (TMM)-diyl cycloaddition. Applications of these classes of reactions in complex natural product synthesis are illustrated. Last but not least, the current state, future directions, and opportunities for dinitrogen extrusion reaction from diazenes are highlighted and discussed.
