Solid phase synthesis of 16, which is a derivative of the first systemic fungicide, carboxin 1 was described. Reaction of 1,3-oxathiolane derivative with solid resin of 4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzophenone 6 gave 9 in 82% yield. Oxidation of sulfur in the solid 1,3-oxathiolane 9 by MCPBA followed by a ring expansion reaction under the acid catalyst afforded the corresponding dihydro-1,4-oxathiin derivative 12. Treatment of the solid 1,3-oxathiolane 9 with p-methoxyaniline resulted in 1,3-oxathiolane 14, 1,3-oxathiolane sulfoxide 15, dihydro-1,4-oxathiin 16, and acetoacetanilide derivative 17 in 41%, 35%, 14%, 10% yields, respectively.
