Autoxidation of guaiazulene and 4,5,8-trimethylazulene at 100 - 120 deg C in DMF (or HMPA) respectively yielded 25 and 17 separable products, including several known compounds.Most of these new compounds were derivatives of 1,5- and 1,7-azulenequionone, 1H-inden-1-one, naphthoquinone, and benzenoid, or dimeric and trimeric forms; structures of these products were established on the basis of spectroscopic (NMR, UV, IR, and MS) and half-wave potential (E1/2) data. 1H NMR (200-MHz) parameters of various azulene derivatives are given for comparative study.Possible reaction pathways are suggested for the formation of such a wide variety of interesting products.
