Analytical and Organic Chemistry by Dr. Marie-Aude Hiebel, Associate Professor at the University of Orléans

Dr. Marie-Aude Hiebel delivered a lecture at the Université Euromed de Fès 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 benefit of 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 hetero-aromatic 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, which are inaccessible using existing approaches.
