The central five-membered ring of the title compound, C18H15N3OS, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.028 Å) and the benzothiazole fused-ring system is close to coplanar with this ring [dihedral angle = 6.1 (1)°]. The phenyl substituent is twisted by 62.5 (1)°.

To a solution of (E)-4-(2,3-dihydro-1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylidene)-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one (1 g, 3.25 mmol) in DMF (50 ml) was added sodium carbonate (2.5 g, 23 mmol), tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (0.15 g, 1 mmol) and methyl iodide (7.1 g, 50 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 24 h. The solid material was removed b filtration and the solution was evaporated. The residue was washed with dichloromethane and hexane, and was recrystallized from ethanol to afford the title compound as colorless crystals.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.93–0.96 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2–1.5U(C). Omitted from the was the (0 2 0) reflection.In the study, the tertiary nitrogen atom of the five-membered ring of 4-(2,3-dihydro-1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylidene)-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one (Chakibe et al., 2010) is used to displace iodine from methyl iode to give the title compound; the carbon-carbon double-bond in the reactant is consequently converted to a double bond (Scheme I, Fig. 1). The central five-membered ring and the benzothiazolyl fused-ring is nearly co-planar (dihedral angle 6.1 (1) °). The phenyl substituent is twisted by 62.5 (1) ° with respect to the five-membered ring.

In the study, the tertiary nitrogen atom of the five-membered ring of 4-(2,3-dihydro-1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylidene)-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one (Chakibe et al., 2010) is used to displace iodine from methyl iode to give the title compound; the carbon-carbon double-bond in the reactant is consequently converted to a double bond (Scheme I, Fig. 1). The central five-membered ring and the benzothiazolyl fused-ring is nearly co-planar (dihedral angle 6.1 (1) °). The phenyl substituent is twisted by 62.5 (1) ° with respect to the five-membered ring.
