Abstract

In an attempt to synthesise azuleno[2,1-a]azulene (1), Cu+ ion-catalysed reaction of diazomethane with 3,6,7,8-tetrahydrodibenzopentalene (4) has been investigated. Addition occurred to only one of the aromatic rings to give chiefly 1,2-benzo-4,5-cycloheptatrieno-3,6,7,8-tetrahydropentalene (13/14). Dehydrogenation of 13/14 to 11H-indeno[2.1-a]azulene has been carried out.
