Treatment of (1-piperidine)- or (4-morpholine)sulfinyl chloride with unsaturated lithio-, bromomagnesio- or diisobutylalumino-derivatives afforded the title sulfinamides 4 and 5. The 1-alkyne sulfinamides 4 were smoothly reduced with lithium aluminium hydride to furnish (E)-1-alkenylsulfinamides. The unsaturated sulfinamides 4,5 and 8 were converted into the corresponding sulfinates 6, 7 and 9 by treatment with alcohols in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate. Oxidation of 4, 5 and 8 yielded the unsaturated sulfonamides 11, 12 and 13.
