Triaroylbenzenes connected via m-xylyl, p-xylyl, 4,4'-biphenyl, and 1,3,5-b
enzenetriyl linking units have been prepared in good yield by condensation
of bis(enaminones) with aryl ethynyl ketones, The required bis(enaminones)
were conveniently prepared starting from the corresponding bis- or tris(hal
omethyl) linking units and 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science
