Chiral allenyl sulfoxides 4 are prepared by substitution of allenyllithiums on (-)-(S)-menthyl p-tolylsulfinate (1). The reactions are performed at -115 °C by an inverse addition procedure. Their use in the asymmetric synthesis of 4,4-dialkyl-1-tert-butyl(or phenyl)-2-(p-toluenesulfinyl)-2, 3-butadien-1-ols 7 is described.
