Magnesium amides, generated from Grignard reagents and secondary amines, have been found to mediate Pummerer-type reactions. Sulfoxides bearing hydrogens at the α-position only (RSOCH
2R
1) react with the magnesium amides to produce dithioacetals (RSCHR
1SR). The treatment of sulfoxides bearing hydrogens both at the α- and β-positions (RSOCHR
1CHR
2R
3) with the magnesium amides affords vinyl sulfides (RSCR
1=CR
2R
3). The reaction of sulfoxides bearing α-hydrogen (s) (RSOCHR
1R
2) with Grignard reagents (R
3MgBr) in the presence of the magnesium amide results in the formation of sulfides (RSCR
1R
2R
3). The reaction of sulfoxides (R

2R
3) with thiols (R
4SH) in the presence of the magnesium amide gives unsymmetrical dithioacetals (R
