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.

Treatment of β-monosubstituted vinylic sulfoxides 1 with trifluoroacetic anhydride in dichloromethane gave excellent yields of 1,2-bis(trifluoroacetoxy)thioethers 6. Mildly basic methanolysis of 2-alkyl-substituted 6 gave α-hydroxyaldehydes 11 as monomer-dimer mixtures; similar treatment of the 2-aryl analogues afforded aryl (hydroxymethyl) ketones 12. Compounds 11 underwent Wittig reactions with methoxycarbonylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane to give high yields of γ-hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated esters 13, predominantly as the E-isomers. β-Monosubstituted vinylic sulfoxides 1 possessing a β-aryl group, and β-disubstituted vinylic sulfoxides 3 reacted with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride-sodium acetate in acetic anhydride to give 2-(phenylsulfenyl) acylals 14. These gave 2-phenylsulfenyl aldehydes 15 upon basic methanolysis, and the corresponding primary alcohols 16 on reduction with sodium borohydride. Reaction of both geometric isomers of enantiomerically pure vinylic sulfoxide 1o with TFAA gave racemic 6o as a mixture of diastereomers. Reaction of optically pure (E)- and (Z)-1p with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride-sodium acetate in acetic anhydride gave acylal 19 in 10.5 and 23% e.e., respectively.

The high yield conversion of aldehydes and ketones 2 to the one-carbon homologous allyl alcohols 3 is achieved by condensation to the vinyl sulfoxides 7, isomerisation to the allyl sulfoxides 9, and subsequent sigmatropic rearrangement.
