A new method was developed for the synthesis of methoxycarbonyltrifluoromethylthioketene by thermal cleavage of tert-butyl 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-methoxycarbonylpropenyl sulfide in the presence Of P2O5. This thioketene was demonstrated to exhibit high reactivity in reactions with nucleophiles as well as in ene and diene syntheses.
