Abstract

Naphth [2, 1-a]-and naphth [2, 3-a] azulenes were synthesized by dehydrogenation of 5, 6- dihydronaphth [2, 1-a]-and 5, 12-dihydronaphth [2, 3-a] azulenes which were obtained by the reaction of 2H-cyclohepta [b] furan-2-one with 1-and 2-pyrrolidinyl-3, 4- dihydronaphthalenes, respectively.
