The reactions of 3‐phenylsydnonyllithium with a variety of ketones to afford tertiary carbinols 4a‐4i and their subsequent dehydration to 4‐(3‐phenylsydnonyl) alkenes 5a‐5i are discussed. Among the alkenes, 2‐[4‐(3‐phenylsydnonyl)]propene ( 5b ) and 1‐[4‐(3‐phenylsydnonyl)]‐1‐cyclohexene ( 5i ) were photochromic. A Wittig reaction between ethyl‐4‐(3‐phenylsydnonyl)‐ketone and methylenetriphenylphosphorane afforded the photochromic 2‐[4‐(3‐phenylsydnon‐yl)]‐1‐butene( 5j ).
