Aromatic amides bearing 2-azulenyl group on the amide nitrogen were synthesized and their structures were investigated. The pi-electron density of the N-aryl group was found to influence the cis-trans conformational preferences of these compounds in solution. X-ray crystallography revealed that the plane of the 2-azulenyl ring has a strong tendency to lie coplanar with the amide plane when the azulene group is located on the same side as the amide oxygen atom.
