Treatment of 1-chlorovinyl p-tolyl sulfoxides. which were derived front ketones and chloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide in high yields, with lithium alpha-carbanion of nitriles gave the adducts in quantitative yields. The adducts were converted to alpha-bromocyclopropyl p-tolyl sulfoxides in two steps in good yields. Finally, the sulfoxides were treated with excess lithium carbanion of isobutyronitrile to afford fully Substituted cyanoallenes in high to quantitative yields via sulfoxide-lithium exchange reaction. This procedure offers a novel synthetic method for fully substituted cyanoallenes with coupling of three components (ketones, chloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide, and nitriles) in good overall yields.
