Abstract: 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 -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-HO contact between the atom of the methyl propionate substituent and the carbonyl oxygen of the oxobenzothiazole group [CO 3.241  (2)  Å]. These contacts link the molecules into infinite chains, running along the b axis of the crystal.
