Abstract: Substituted l,3,3,5-tetraphenyl-l,5-pentadiones Ia—Id obtained by al­kaline ketolization of the corresponding acetophenones with benzophenone, have been subjected to intramolecular cyclocondensation to give 4H-pyrans Ha—lid and 1,4-dihydropyridines Ilia—11If. Mass spectrometric frag­ mentation of the above-mentioned compounds is discussed. The compounds la, lb, lIb—lId, IlIa—IIIf in crystalline state showed photochromy.
