The benzothiazine skeleton is not planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.3154 (11) Å from the least-squares plane. The molecule was expected to adopt mirror symmetry but slightly different conformational characteristics of the condensed benzothiazine ring lead to point group symmetry 1.
The title molecule crystallizes as a dimethylformamide monosolvate, C 19H 14N 2O 6S 2·C 3H 7NO. The molecule was expected to adopt mirror symmetry but slightly different conformational characteristics of the condensed benzothiazine ring lead to point group symmetry 1. In the crystal, molecules form two types of stacking dimers with distances of 3.464 (2) Å and 3.528 (2) Å between π-systems. As a result, columns extending parallel to [100] are formed, which are connected to intermediate dimethylformamide solvent molecules by C—H⋯O interactions.
