Abstract: The title compound, C₁₆H₁₇NO₅S, was one of two condensation products from the reaction of 1-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)propan-2-one with methyl chloroacetate. The non-H atoms in each of the four substituent groups on the central quaternary C atom are virtually coplanar. The maximum deviations from the least-squares planes are 0.015 (2) and 0.020 (2) Å for the methyl C atoms in the methyl acetate substituents and 0.033 (1) Å for the linked C atom of the benzothiazole substituent. The S, C and N atoms in the thiazole ring of the benzothiazole substituent lie -0.037 (2), 0.046 (2) and -0.028 (2) Å, respectively, from the mean plane defined by the benzene ring atoms.
