The title compound, C15H12N2O2S, is a P21/c polymorph of a previously reported P21/n polymorph [Büyükgüngör et al. (2004 ▶). Acta Cryst. E60, o1414-o1416]. The dihedral angle between the benzo-thia-zole (r.m.s. deviation = 0.010 Å) and the benzene ring of 7.86 (6)° compares with 10.76 (10)° in the literature structure. The meth-oxy substituent is almost coplanar with the benzene ring to which i...
