Ethyl diazoacetate or ArI=NTs are employed as carbene or nitrene precursors, respectively. The azulene derivatives are subsequently employed as building blocks toward more complex structures with potential use as biodegradable materials.}, organization = {We thank MINECO (CTQ2017-82893-C2-1-R and Juan de la Cierva fellowship for J.C.), Junta de Andalucia for Grant P12-FQM-1765, and CHAOS COST ACTION CA-15106.
