When 3-formxlguaiazulene was heated at 200 °C for 1 hr, three new compounds were isolated in addition to S-guaiazulene (formed by loss of the formyl group). They were shown to be 2-formylguaiazulene, produced by migration of the formyl group, and dimers produced from two molecules of the starting material through dehydration between the formyl and the aromatic methyl groups. The observed elimination or migration of the formyl group was analogous to the behavior of 3-acylguaiazulenes which had been studied earlier. On the other hand, the extent of the loss of the acyl group and the formation of the dimers was peculiar to this substance. Moreover, migration of the formyl group was not reversible at 200 °C, but was at 250 °C.
将 3-formxl-guaiazulene(3-甲酰基guaiazulene)在 200 °C 下加热 1 小时,除了 S-guaiazulene(甲酰基脱落形成)外,还分离出三种新化合物。它们分别是甲酰基迁移生成的 2-甲酰基guaiazulene,以及甲酰基和芳香甲基脱
水生成的二聚物。观察到的甲酰基消除或迁移与早先研究过的 3-酰基
胍唑烯的行为类似。另一方面,酰基消失的程度和二聚物的形成是这种物质所特有的。此外,甲酰基的迁移在 200 °C 时不可逆,但在 250 °C 时可逆。
