The efficient sulfinate-catalyzed intermolecular addition reaction of α-substituted allenyl sulfones and allenoates with Michael acceptors is highlighted. The sequence proceeds under mild conditions to provide a scalable and efficient access to versatile functionalized alkynes, displaying a quaternary stereocentre at the propargylic position. This work enriches the diversity of Lewis base organocatalysts in the field of allene chemistry, in addition to the well-established phosphine and amine catalysts.
