In the crystal of the title compound, C 9 H 9 NOS, the molecules are linked by C-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds to generate bilayers lying parallel to (001).
Structure descriptionAs a continuation of our studies of N-substituted benzothiazines (Sebbar et al., 2014(Sebbar et al., , 2016 Ellouz et al., 2015), we now describe the synthesis and structure of the title compound, (Fig. 1).A puckering analysis of the heterocyclic ring gave the parameters Q = 0.668 (1) Å , = 113.2 (1) and ' = 146.9 : atoms C1, C6, S1 and N1 are roughly coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.046 Å ) and atoms C7 and C8 deviate in the same sense [by 0.476 (1) and 1.111 (1) Å , respectively] from the mean plane. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by C-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds (Table 1) to form bilayers oriented parallel to (001) (Figs. 2 and 3).
Synthesis and crystallizationTo a solution of 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3-one (2 mmol), potassium carbonate (4 mmol) and tetra n-butyl ammonium bromide (0.2 mmol) in DMF (15 ml) was added iodomethane (4 mmol). Stirring was continued at room temperature for 12 h. The mixture was filtered and the solvent removed. The residue was extracted with water. The organic compound was chromatographed on a column of silica gel with ethyl acetatehexane (9:1) as eluent. Brown crystals of the title compound were isolated when the solvent was allowed to evaporate (yield 57%; m.p. 370 K).
