20. For the synthesis of 1-(azulen-1-yl)-2-phenylethene [9(H)] we applied a Wittig procedure in the presence of n-butyllithium This resulted in, together with unchanged 1-azulenecarbaldehyde (20 %), a mixture of (Z)- and (E)-9(H) (in yields of 44.5 % and 7.5 %, respectively).

29. 3) obtained from para-anisidine, an amine that is more stable and less harmful.
30. An alternative synthesis of the compound 18 was performed by the authors by use of a Wittig reaction between ortho-phenylenediylide and two equivalents of azulenecarbaldehyde. A complex mixture of trans-trans, cis-cis and cis-trans isomers of 18, together with internal cyclization compounds, was obtained. The results will be published.
