the S2 atom uses only the p orbital to form bonds with the C13
and C14 atoms, of which C13 is part of an aromatic ring and
C14 is sp3 hybridized. Consequently, the SÐC bond distances

The title compound, C26H21NO2S2, which consists of a
benzothiazole skeleton with ꢀ-naphthylvinyl and tosyl groups
at positions 2 and 3, respectively, was prepared by palladium±
copper-catalyzed heteroannulation. The E con®guration of the
molecule about the vinyl C C bond is established by the

bonding of the C atoms (C8 and C14) is also re¯ected in the
difference between the two NÐC distances [NÐC8 1.426 (5)

the tosyl and ꢀ-naphthylvinyl groups are within expected
ranges (Chiaroni et al., 1994; Dobson & Gerkin, 1996). A
comparison of the geometrical parameters of various hetero-
cyclic derivatives (Table 3) reveals that the conformation of
the ®ve-membered C3NS ring has a profound in¯uence on the
molecular dimensions. In compounds with a non-planar C3NS
ring, the SÐC and NÐC bond distances show greater asym-
metry compared with those having a planar C3NS ring.

Comment
The benzothiazole system, (I), containing a heterocyclic ring
with sulfur and nitrogen as heteroatoms, is often used as an
antihypertensive, an anticoagulant and a calcium agonist
(Yamamoto et al., 1998). Substituted benzothiazolines ®nd
wide-ranging applications as ef®cient anticonvulsants, vaso-
dilators, blood platelet aggregation inhibitors (Ucar et al.,
1998) and antifungal agents (Kanoongo et al., 1990). As part of
our ongoing program on the synthesis and characterization of
new heterocyclic compounds of biological importance (Kundu
et al., 1999; Nandi & Kundu, 2000) and to build up a hierarchy
for such systems, the structure determination of (E)-2-[2-
(1-naphthyl)vinyl]-3-tosyl-2,3-dihydro-1,3-benzothiazole, (II),
was undertaken.
The E con®guration of the molecule of (II), which contains
a benzothiazole moiety (A) with ꢀ-naphthylvinyl (B) and tosyl
(C) substituents at the 2 and 3 positions, respectively, is
established by the torsion angle C14ÐC15ÐC16ÐC17 of
177.5 (4)ꢁ. The ®ve-membered thiazole ring (atoms N, C8,
C13, S2 and C14) displays an envelope conformation, with the
