The mixture was warmed to 30°-35° C. for 3 hours, then evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue, crude 5,6-dihydro-2-methyl-1,4-oxathiin-3-carbonyl chloride, was dissolved in methylene chloride (100 ml), and the ice-chilled solution treated dropwise with a solution of ethyl 3-amino-4-methylbenzoate (6.7 g, 0,037 mole) and tziethylamine (4.0 g, 0,040 mole) in methylene chloride (100 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature and then worked up by washing in sequence with water, dilute hydrochloric acid, water, 2% sodium hydroxide and water. Evaporation of the solvent gave an oil, which solidified. After recrystallization from ethanol (30 ml), the product (7.1 g, 59% yield) melted at 105°-107° C.
