Reductive bromination of N, N-bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)hydroxylamine

Unlike most arenes, N, N-bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)hydroxylamine reacts with Br2via the reductive bromination mechanism. Here, two hydrogens in ortho positions of benzene rings are substituted by Br2 and provide two-electron reduction of hydroxylamine to amine.
