Analytical and organic chemistry by Dr. Marie-Aude Hiebel, senior lecturer at the University of Orléans

Dr. Marie-Aude Hiebel gave a lecture at the Euromed University of Fes on the theme: "Hypervalent Iodine (III) in Direct Intramolecular N-N Bond Formation with Heteroaromatic Amines: Synthesis of Triazapentalene Derivatives". This lecture was for the entire teaching and doctoral staff of the Euromed Faculty of Engineering.

The formation of N-N bonds can offer an original approach to various nitrogen-containing heterocycles with numerous applications. To this end, we found that readily available heteroaromatic amines are suitable substrates to provide an efficient and innovative approach to N-N bond formation in the presence of an iodine(III) reagent under very mild conditions. This method enables the synthesis of nitrogen-rich triazapentalene derivatives with fluorescent properties, inaccessible with existing approaches.
