The sulfoxide-metal exchange reaction of β-acetoxy sulfoxides or β-mesyloxy sulfoxides, which were derived from alkenyl aryl sulfoxides and aldehydes in two steps, with a Grignard reagent or alkyllithium at low temperature gave allenes in good yields. Optically active allenes were synthesized starting from optically active 2-substituted ethenyl p-tolyl sulfoxides. A synthesis of (-)-methyl (E)-2,4,5-tetradecatrienoate, a male bean weevil sex attractant, was realized by this method.

Cerium-mediated conjugate additions of (diethoxyphosphinoyl) difluoromethyllithium to cyclic vinyl sulfoxides proceeded smoothly; thermal sulfoxide elimination afforded the products of formal vinylation, attaching the difluoromethylenephosphonato group to an alkenyl carbon atom. With acyclic vinyl sulfoxides, the addition occurred in moderate to poor yield. Addition failed completely in the absence of cerium(III) chloride, and was facilitated by an excess of the reagent.
