Abstract

Condensation of polyenals I, where substituents R1 and R2 are CH3, H, C2H5OCO, Cl or CN, with 1,3-bis(dimethylamino)trimethinium perchlorate (II), followed by hydrolysis of the intermediate III, afforded polyenylidenemalonaldehydes IV. Properties and spatial arrangement of these products are briefly discussed.
