Abstract
Cyclobutenes bearing various functional groups were synthesized by derivatization of squaric acid, and their thermolytic ring-opening reactions were investigated. This sequence was found an effective approach to prepare a multi-functionalized diene, which could be used for subsequent Diels-Alder cycloaddition provided that its s-cis form was fixed.
