${\alpha},{\beta}$-Unsaturated carboxanilides 5 with trifluromethylated dihydro-1,4-oxathiins were synthesized for the development of new agrochemical fungicide. Chlorination of trifluoromethylated ${\beta}-keto$ ester 6 followed by the reaction with 1,2-mercaptoethanol gave intermediate 1,4-oxathiane 11. Without purification of 11, substitution of hydroxy group by chlorine, followed by dehydrochlorination of 10 in the presence of triethylamine afforded trifluoromethylated dihydro-1,4-oxathiin ethyl ester 9. Acylation of the hydroxy group of the carboxylic acid 12 followed by treatment of various amines gave the corresponding trifluoromethylated dihydro-1,4-oxathiin carboxamides 5. Antifungal screening (in vivo) of the synthesized compounds against typical plant diseases, which include rice blast, rice sheath blight, cucumber gray mold, tomato late blight, wheat leaf rust, and barley powdery mildew, was carried out. Where meta position of the phenyl group was substituted with isopropoxy or isopropyl group, excellent antifungal activities against rice sheath blight and wheat leaf rust were detected.

For the purpose of development of new agrochemical fungicide of ${\alpha},{\beta}-unsaturated$ carboxanilide series a synthesis of 4-acetyl-3-methyl-N-phenyl-1,4-thiazine-2-carboxamide (6) is described. Pummerer reaction of sulfoxide 7 obtained by sulfoxidation of dihydro-1,4-thiazine methyl ester 11 gave ${\alpha}-acetoxy$ dihydro-1,4-thiazine 10a. Under the same reaction conditions, dihydro-1,4-thiazine carboxanilide sulfoxide 14 was converted to acetoxymethyl dihydro-1,4-thiazine 18 through vinylogous Pummerer reaction involving carboxanilide of sulfonium ion through intermediate 15.1,4-Thiazine carboxanilide 6 was synthesized from the treatment of ${\alpha}-acetoxy$ dihydro-1,4-thiazine 10a with acid cat-alyst followed by hydrolysis and then the reaction with aniline.
