thanks to all for the quick responses and solution. I tend to find
where to put ties and slurs confusing (more confusing than my first
mistyping) so thank you to the addressed and to Brian

when I try to do this the slur does not connect between the c and b4
there is now a slur starting at the b4 and extends until there is
another slur over many measures.
Hope there is a solution or at least clarification.
Slurs are attached to notes (and entered after the note, hence
"post-events"). \time 6/8 is new music occuring at the same time as
b4, but you can't meaningfully attach a slur to a time signature
change.
The solution is simple: Attacht the opening slur to your note c, i.e.
c( \time 6/8 instead of c \time 6/8 (.
By the way, I'd recommend to put the \time 6/8 onto its own line:
\relative c' {
\time 5/8
\tempo 4 = 86
d8 e fis4 e8
d e4 d8 c(
\time 6/8
b4) d8 b a4
\bar "|."
}
