Treatment of the tert-butylhydrazones of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acetone with butyllithium afforded the corresponding tert-butyl lithiohydrazones, which were alkylated with alkyl, allyl, and benzyl halides. Fourteen new tert-butylazo compounds were prepared in yields ranging from 38 to 86%.
