Direct synthesis of azulene continues to reveal alluring properties

Azulene is a pretty neat substance. As the name suggests, it displays a peculiar blue color. First synthesized in the 1930s, azulene has been used in medicine for its bioactive properties. Now azulene derivatives are being studied for use in organic electronics such as n-type semiconductors, solar cells and non-linear optics. This is made possible by the functionalization of the azulene ring. Odd-positions of the ring had been researched extensively for their high reactivity, though it was hard to select their functionality due to their electronic properties. Highly functionalized azulenes were enabled by cross-coupling reactions of even-numbered positions of azulenes. However, it has been difficult to synthesize these precursors.

Associate Professor Taku Shoji at Shinshu University et al. was successful in direct synthesis of 2-arylazulene. One of the few researchers who specialize in azulene synthesis, Professor Shoji states that the breakthrough in this study allows for the synthesis of azulene on a gram-scale instead of milligrams. The previous possible production volume made it difficult for possible use in organic electronics. Being able to synthesize azulenes from readily available 2H-cycloheptafuran-2-one derivatives and silyl enol ether is a great step forward in practical applications.

The fluorescence of the azulene derivatives in acidic conditions (which can be seen in the photo) was observed unexpectedly during this study. Though this property of azulene derivatives had been previously reported, the research group found that 2-phenylazulenes exhibit the emission in acidic media and the fluorescence wavelength depends on the electronic properties of the substituents on the substituted benzene ring. The group is collaborating with photochemical experts to elucidate the mechanism of this unexpected fluorescence.

I bought this only because the color is pretty. It's less than $15 but it doesn't add anything significant to my skincare routine, other than very slightly helping calm my skin and adding a layer of hydration. I read azulene can react when in sunlight so I only used it at night. It hasn't really made a difference in my skin. I like the aesthetic of the product but I would not repurchase.

KLAIRS Midnight Blue Calming Cream -is a gentle, azulene-rich cream that provides help to rapidly calm & soothe sensitivity. Key Ingredients: Guaiazulene, Centella Asiatica Extract, Vitamin E Acetate,Ceramide NP, Sodium Hyaluronate, Peptides This comes in a light blue thick and rich cream that blends well and absorbs quickly leaving without stickiness. It's lightweight but I find it nourishing and moisturiziring to my skin. My skin tends to be more sensitive and dry lately that causes itchiness as the season change and this cream soothes, calm, and helps strengthen my skin barrier. Resulting to a more resilient and healthy skin. I always layer my application of this at night and I always wake up with a more plump, moisturized, smooth and soft to touch ,and glowing skin.
