Ethyl 2-[4-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-anilino]acetate.

In the title compound, C(17)H(16)N(2)O(2)S, the dihedral angle between the benzothia-zole ring system and the benzene ring is 1.20†(2)°. The substituted amino substituent is in an extended conformation with an N-C-C-O torsion angle of 179.4†(3)°. In the crystal structure, pairs of mol-ecules are connected by inter-molecular N-H⋯O and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric dimers.
