Azulene–Pyridine-Fused Heteroaromatics

Azulene, a nonbenzenoid bicyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with unique electronic structure, is a promising building block for constructing nonbenzenoid π-conjugated systems. However, azulene-fused (hetero)aromatics remain rare as a result of limited synthetic methods. We report herein the unexpected syn...
