The title compound, C10H12BrNO4S, is an intermediate in the synthesis of benzothiazine. The planar methyl ester group (maximum deviation is 0.0065 Å) is oriented at a dihedral angle of 39.09 (13)° with respect to the aromatic ring. In the weak intermolecular C—H⋯O interactions link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers, through R22(10) ring motifs.

For the preparation of the title compound, methyl-2-amino-5-bromobenzoate (1 g, 4 mmol) was added into dichloromethane (10 ml) in a round bottom flask. Then, a solution of methanesulfonyl chloride (0.55 g, 48 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 ml) was added to the mixture in 10-15 min. The mixture was stirred at 333-343 K for 2-3 d. After the completion of reaction, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to get methyl-5-bromo-2-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]benzoate. Methyl-5-bromo-2-[(methylsulfonyl)amino] benzoate (1 g, 33 mmol) was added into dimethylformamide (5 ml), and then to a suspension of NaH (0.15 g, 66 mmol) in dimethylformamide (10 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 14-16 h, then the title compound was obtained.
H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C-H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å for aromatic and methyl H, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.5 for methyl H and x = 1.2 for all other H atoms.

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

We have reported the crystal structures of some benzothiazine derivatives (Shafiq et al., 2009; Tahir et al., 2008; Arshad et al., 2008). The title compound is an intermediate for the synthesis of benzothiazine and we report herein its crystal structure.
In the molecule of the title compound (Fig. 1), the bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges. Ring A (C1-C6) is of course planar. The methyl ester moiety B (O2/C7/O1/C8) is also planar, and they are oriented at a dihedral angle of 39.09 (13)°.
In the crystal structure, weak intermolecular C-H···O interactions link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers through R22(10) ring motifs (Fig. 2) (Bernstein et al., 1995).
