The reaction of 2-6 and 8-10, except for 3 and 8, with pyridine in the presence of Tf2O, followed by treatment with KOH in MeOH afforded the corresponding 2-aryl- and 6-heteroary1-1,3-di(4-pyridyl)azulenes 11-16 in good yields., Article, HETEROCYCLES. 89(11):2588-2603 (2014)}, pages = {2588--2603}, title = {Synthesis of 2-Aryl- and 6-Heteroaryl-1,3-di(4-pyridyl)azulenes by Katritzky’s Pyridylation of 2-Aryl- and 6-Heteroarylazulenes}, volume = {89}, year = {2014} }
