3-iodo-1-azaazulenes were easily ethynylated by Sonogashira-Hagihara reaction to give 3-ethynyl-1-azaazulenes. Cyclization of 2-amino-3-ethynyl-1-azaazulene was achieved by heating in the presence of copper(II) acetate or copper(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate, and 1,9-diaza-1H-cyclopent[a]azulene derivatives were obrained. Reaction of 2-chloro-1-azaazulene with lithium phenylacetylide gave 3-chloro-1-(2-chloro-1-azaazulen-8-yl)-2-phenyl-2a-aza-2H-cyclopent[cd]azulene together with 2-chloro-8-phenylethynyl-1-azaazulene.
