A method of making 5,6-dihydro-2-methyl-N-phenyl-1,4-oxathiin-3-carboxamide is based on the use of an oxathiolane, namely, 2-methyl-N-phenyl-1,3-oxathilane-2-acetamide, which may be formed by condensing 2-mercaptoethanol with acetoacetanilide under acidic conditions in a solvent medium (aromatic hydrocarbon, chlorinated hydrocarbon or alkyl ester of an aliphatic acid). The said oxathilane, with or without purification, is reacted with hydrogen peroxide in water or in a water-organic solvent mixture under basic conditions in the presence of a catalytic amount of a metal compound such as sodium tungstate to form 2-methyl-N-phenyl-1,3-oxathiolane-2-acetamide 3-oxide. The said oxathioiane oxide, while dissolved in a chlorinated hydrocarbon or an alkyl ester of an aliphatic carboxylic acid, or while suspended in an aromatic hydrocarbon, is subjected to a ring expansion reaction by heating under acidic conditions in the presence of a catalytic quantity of an anium compound, i.e., a quaternary ammonium salt or sulfonium, sulfoxonium or phosphonium compound, to form 5,6-dihydro-2-methyt-N-phenyi-1,4-oxathiin-3-carboxamide with evolution of water. The product is a known bactericide and fungicide.
