Abstract
Sulfides of the azulene series were synthesized in high yield by reactions of chamazulene (7-ethyl-1,4-dimethylazulene) with aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic sulfenyl chlorides. According to the H-1 NMR and X-ray diffrac tion data, electrophilic substitution by RS+ cation occurs exclusively at t he C-3 atom of the azulene system.
