Abstract
The first procedure for the synthesis of novel bisarylmethylidenes of cyclohex‐2‐enone structures is described at room temperature using a mild medium consisting of anhydrous zinc bromide and triethylamine. Several compounds of this class are synthesized conveniently and rapidly. Spectroscopic and X‐ray diffraction experiments confirm the proposed structures.
