Let A and B be two von Neumann algebras. For A,B ? A, define by [A,B]* = AB-BA* and A ? B = AB + BA* the new products of A and B. Suppose that a bijective map ? : A ? B satisfies ?([A ? B,C]*) = [?(A)? ?(B),?(C)]* for all A,B,C ? A. In this paper, it is proved that if A and B be two von Neumann algebras with no central abelian projections, then the map ?(I)? is a sum of a linear *-isomorphism and a conjugate linear +-isomorphism, where ?(I) is a self-adjoint central element in B with ?(I)2 = I.
