Condensation of azulene hydrocarbons with the following classes of aliphatic aldehydes in the presence of perchloric acid is reported: simple aP-unsaturated aldehydes; a-oxo-aldehydes; dialdehydes; P-oxo-aldehydes; a-cyano-and a-nitro-aldehydes. The nature of the products depends on the degree of alkylation of the azulene and on the type of the aldehyde. Possible pathways to the various types of products are discussed. Spectral data for the products are recorded.IN the first reported condensations of azulenes with aldehydes, guaiazulene (5-isopropyl-3, 8-dimethylazulene) reacted with benzaldehyde and its derivatives in the presence of hydrogen chloride to form 3-arylmethyleneguaiazulenium chlorides2 These salts were unstable but could be converted into the somewhat more stable picrates. Although heterocyclic aromatic, and many aliphatic, aldehydes also condensed the unstable products could not be isolated. Subsequently, in an improved proced~ re,~ with 70%(w/w) perchloric acid in place of anhydrous hydrogen chloride, ready condensation occurred with carbocyclic and heterocyclic aromatic aldehydes to give the thermally stable, crystalline perchlorates. We now describe the application of our modified procedure to the condensation of azulene hydrocarbons with simple and multifunctional aliphatic aldehydes.
