In the title compound, C6H4SC(O)NCH2CH2COOCH3, the bicyclic benzothiazole system is planar within 0.025 Å; the displacements of the carbonyl oxygen and the β‐carbon atom of the methylpropionate substituent from the benzothiazole mean plane are −0.028 (2) and 0.002 (2) Å, respectively. There is a short intermolecular C—H⋯O contact between the α atom of the methyl propionate substituent and the carbonyl oxygen of the oxobenzothiazole group [C⋯O 3.241 (2) Å]. These contacts link the molecules into infinite chains, running along the b axis of the crystal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
