Aryl 1-chlorovinyl sulfoxides were easily synthesized from ketones and aldehydes with aryl chloromethyl sulfoxide in three-steps with high overall yields. Low-temperature treatment of the aryl 1-chlorovinyl sulfoxides with alkyllithium or a Grignard reagent gave alkylidene carbenoids via a sulfoxide-metal exchange
