Abstract

Eight dienic nitrogen compounds were prepared starting from cyclobutene lactam 8. Dienes 12-15 were obtained by benzyl­ation or acylation followed by methanolysis, hydrolysis or reduction. The unsubstituted lactam 8 provided diene 16. The latter was a precursor for the mono and biacylated products 17-19.
