“…Therefore, many researchers have studied the synthesis, reactivity, and properties of these derivatives, as discussed below. Several review articles on the classical heterocycle-substituted and heterocycle-fused azulene derivatives have been published so far [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. However, there is no systematic review of the progress in the synthesis and reactivity of these derivatives within the last decade.…”
