title: Methyl 5-bromo-2-[meth-yl(methyl-sulfon-yl)amino]benzoate.
abstract: The title compound, C(10)H(12)BrNO(4)S, is an inter-mediate in the synthesis of benzothia-zine. 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 crystal structure, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions link the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers, through R(2) (2)(10) ring motifs.
