The authors study groups satisfying the following condition \(P_n\): Let \(p\) be a fixed prime, \(I=\{1,\dots,n\}\) and \(B\), \(P_i\), \(i\in I\), finite subgroups of a group \(G\) such that (i) \(G=\langle P_i\mid i\in I\rangle\), (ii) \(B\) is the normalizer of a Sylow \(p\)-subgroup in \(P_i\), (iii) No non-trivial subgroup of \(B\) is normal in \(G\), (iv) \(O^{p'}(P_i/O_p(P_i))\) is a rank 1 group of Lie type in characteristic \(p\). The case \(P_2\) was the starting point for what nowadays is called the amalgam method launched by \textit{D. Goldschmidt} [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 111, 377-404 (1980; Zbl 0475.05043)], then investigated by several authors culminating in the paper of \textit{A. Delgado} and \textit{B. Stellmacher} [in ``Groups and graphs: New results and methods DMV Seminar Bd. 6, Birkhäuser (1985; Zbl 0566.20013)]. A classification of groups of type \(P_3\) is far out of reach, where classification always means to describe the \(P_i\)'s. A quite common additional assumption \(P_n^+\) is (v) \(\langle P_i,P_j\rangle\) is finite and \(B\) is the normalizer of the Sylow \(p\)-subgroup in \(\langle P_i,P_j\rangle\), (vi) \(P_iP_j=P_jP_i\) or \(O^{p'}(\langle P_i,P_j\rangle/O_p(\langle P_i,P_j\rangle))\) is a rank two group of Lie type in characteristic \(p\). Then by the work of M. Aschbacher, S. Heiss, Th. Meixner, R. Niles, G. Stroth, F. Timmesfeld and J. Tits, there is a complete classification. In this paper the authors add another condition for groups \(G\) satisfying \(P_3\). Let \(S\) be the Sylow \(p\)-subgroup in \(B\) and set \(M_1=\langle P_1,P_2\rangle\), \(M_2=\langle P_1,P_3\rangle\). Then assume \(O_p(P_1)\cap O_p(P_j)\) is neither normal in \(P_1\) nor \(P_j\), \(j=2,3\) and \(\Omega_1(Z(S))\) is neither normal in \(M_1\) nor in \(M_2\). Then they give a complete classification of such groups, too complicated to be stated here, the conclusion in the paper runs over two pages. The results of this paper might be of value in the revision of the classification of the finite simple groups.
