2,4,6-Triaryl-3-aroyl-4-hydroxy-1,1-cyclohexanedicarbonitriles have been prepared by the base-catalyzed reaction of variously substituted α,β-unsaturated ketones with malononitrile in anhydrous ether at room temperature. Their structures have been established on the basis of their elemental analyses, IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectral data and X-ray crystallography.
