Conditions for equivalence of $[A,BC] = 0$ and $[AB,C] = 0$

What are the most general conditions for which the commutation relations $[A,BC] = 0$ and $[AB,C] = 0$ equivalent? Alternatively, can it at least be shown to hold if $A$, $B$, and $C$ are all involutant? If $A$, $B$, and $C$ are involutant…

So I have been painting polyhedra these days. I paint their vertices with different colors and then I paint the edges with colors that depend on the colors of the vertices in either end, and it turns out there are a lot of ways to do that. I can…
