A process for the catalytic reduction of nitrous oxide using NHC-ligated copper(I) tert-butoxide precatalysts and Bpin as the reductant is reported. These reactions proceed under mild conditions via copper(I)-boryl intermediates which react with NO by facile O-atom insertion into the Cu-B bond and liberate N. Turnover numbers >800 can be achieved at 80 °C under 1 bar NO.
