By deprotonation with methyllithium or lithium diisopropylamide and reaction with alkyl halides, the allenic methyl sulfoxides 2 [1-(methylsulfinyl)alka-1,2-dienes] have been converted into substituted propargylic sulfoxides 5 [1,3-disubstituted 1-(methylsulfinyl)-2-alkynes]. Smooth desulfurization of 5 using 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole furnished the corresponding conjugated enones 9.
