A process for the catalytic reduction of nitrous oxide using NHC‐ligated copper(I) tert ‐butoxide precatalysts and B 2 pin 2 as the reductant is reported. These reactions proceed under mild conditions via copper(I)‐boryl intermediates which react with N 2 O by facile O‐atom insertion into the Cu−B bond and liberate N 2 . Turnover numbers >800 can be achieved at 80 °C under 1 bar N 2 O.
