Abstract

Azulenes undergo either single or dual S_EAr reactions depending on the nature of the sulfur(IV) electrophile employed. These electrophiles are generated in situ from either sulfoxides or sulfides. The resultant cationic or dicationic azulene products can undergo further derivatisation by means of nucleophilic attack at the sulfonium α-carbon. In the case of cycloalkyl azulenylsulfonium salts, this leads to ring-opened azulenylsulfide products.
