Several N-aryl γ-lactam gem dicarboxylates were chemoselectively reduced to cyclic amine diesters by using sodium borohydride-iodine system. The reduction in all cases was completed within 2.5 h after refluxing in THF. The cyclic amine products were isolated after aqueous (acidic) workup in good yields. Hydrolytic decarboxylation followed by dehydrogenation produced N-aryl carboethoxy pyrroles.

Cinnamoylchloride on treatment with arylaminomalonates produced the γ-lactam diester derivatives. Highly stereoselective hydrolysis of the diester, produced the trans acid, which on homologation by Arndt-Eistert's method followed by PPA cyclization generated the tricyclic γ-lactam derivatives simulating B-C-D ring of many azasteroids in good overall yield.
