Procedure

A 400 mL pressure vessel was charged with 34.1 g (0.49 mol) of sodium thiomethoxide and 150 mL of anhydrous dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). The vessel was closed, cooled in dry ice, evacuated and charged with 32 g (0.73 mol) of carbon dioxide and 50 g (0.5 mol) of tetrafluoroethylene. The vessel contents were heated with agitation to 50° C. for 1 hr and 100° C for 5 hr. After cooling to room temperature, the vessel contents were transferred to a 500 mL round bottom flask using an additional 30 mL of DMSO to rinse. Dimethylsulfate (65 g, 0.52 mol) was added and the mixture was stirred for 3 hr at 30°-50° C. Volatiles were removed by distillation at 1 mm into a dry ice cooled receiver with a maximum pot temperature of 65° C.
