Autoxidation of 4,6,8-trimethylazulene at 120 deg C in N,N-dimethylformamide yielded twelve separable products (including four known compounds), which were assigned to be azulenoquinone, inden-1-one, and azulenyl-1-indanone derivatives.A comparison of the present results with those of guaiazulene was made to obtain a mechanistic aspect of the oxidation reaction.
