Figs. 1±3 show the structures of (IVa)±(IVc), respectively,
and selected geometric parameters are given in Tables 1, 3 and
5. In all three structures, the central seven-membered
heterocyclic rings adopt twist-boat conformations, such that
atoms C1, C5, C6 and N7 are essentially planar and the
remaining atoms lie above this plane. The distances of the
remaining atoms of the heterocyclic ring from the planes in
(IVa)±(IVc) are, respectively, 0.997 (4), 0.983 (3) and

1,5-benzothiazepine, C22H19NO2S, the central seven-mem-
bered heterocyclic rings adopt twist-boat conformations in
which the N atoms are involved in strong intramolecular
hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl H atoms, resulting in six-
membered rings.
Comment
Many chemotherapeutic applications have been associated
with benzothiazepine derivatives such as diltiazem, which is
used as a calcium channel blocker (Chaffman & Brogden,
1985), an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (Itoh et al.,
1986), and an anticonvulsant and tranquilizing agent (Bock et
al., 1989). Calcium channel blockers are important cardio-
vascular drugs for the management of angina pectoris and
hypertension and may have applications in additional thera-
peutic areas (Godfraind et al., 1986). The importance of the
methoxyphenyl moiety in biologically active compounds
belonging to the benzothiazepine series of drugs has also been
reported (Pant et al., 1994). Following these studies and
continuing our investigations in this area (Ansari et al., 2002),
we have reacted 2-hydroxyacetophenone, (I), with substituted
benzaldehydes, (II) (see Scheme; R = Cl, CH3 or H, and
R0 = H, H or OCH3, respectively). The reaction yielded chal-
cones, (III), which on treatment with o-aminothiophenol in
equimolar quantities in acidi®ed methanol led to the forma-
tion of the 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-, 2-(4-tolyl)- and 2-(3-
methoxyphenyl)- derivatives, (IVa)±(IVc), respectively, of 4-
(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1,5-benzothiazepine.
In this paper, we report the crystal structures of (IVa)±(IVc).
In all three structures, atom N7 is involved in intramolecular
hydrogen bonds with the hydroxy H atom, resulting in a six-
membered ring; details of the hydrogen-bonding geometry are
provided in Tables 2, 4 and 6 for (IVa)±(IVc), respectively.
Note that in (IVb), atom S3 is involved in a short intramol-
