The following specification particularly describes the nature of this invention and the manner in which it is to be performed :

Above patent also describes other method of preparation of semicarbazone intermediate by reaction of semicarbazide with Methyl 5-chloro-2, 3dihydro-2-hydroxy-1-oxo-1H-indene-2-carboxylate. Preparation of semicarbazide intermediate involves reaction of alkyl-N- aryl carbamate with excess of hydrazine hydrate. However the process needs use of large excess of hydrazine and which makes the process inconvenient for practicing on industrial scale.
An alternate semicarbazone synthesis as described in patent WO 98/05656 involves reaction of hydrazone with N-Carboxy alkyl carbonyl chloride of trifluromethoxy aniline. However preparation of carbamoyl chloride intermediate involves use of toxic phosgene and hence involves handling of toxic phosgene.
The present invention provides an improved process for economic commercial operation and avoids use of hazardous phosgene as well as eliminates use of excess hydrazine. The present invention provides use of organic bases to increase relative nucleophilicity of the substituted aniline (V), as a convenient method for the synthesis of substituted semicarbazone compounds, which are useful for the preparation of tricyclic oxadiazines having arthropodicidal activity.
Compound of formula (VI) is reacted with formaldehyde or its acetal to get compound of formula (VII) by the methods already known in the literature to get compound of formula (VII).


Compound (VII)

N-carbomethoxylation of compound (VII) using methyl or higher alkyl chloroformate to give N- carbomethoxyiated derivative of formula (I) by the methods already known in the literature.
