[摘要]：Azulene-2-boronic acid pinacol ester was conveniently transformed into 2-substituted azulenes bearing carboxyl, formyl, ester, or amino groups, which are difficult to access by conventional methods. Furthermore, the azulene-2-carboxylic acid thus synthesized was subjected to the Ugi four-component condensation to obtain a dipeptide-type product contg. an azulene skeleton.
