In the title compound, C14H9O2S, the benzothiazole unit is oriented at a dihedral angle of 7.1 (1)° with respect to the benzodioxole unit. The dioxole ring adopts flattened envelope conformation with the methylene C atom at the flap. The crystal packing is stabilized by [pi]-[pi] interactions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.705 (1) and 3.752 (1) Å], C-H...[pi] interactions and a short S...S contact of 3.485 (1) Å.
