Crystal structure of ethyl 2-amino-4-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-4H-1-benzothieno[3,2-b]pyran-3-carboxyl-ate.

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C21H19NO4S, features a fused ring system whereby a five-membered ring is flanked by two six-membered rings. This is linked to an ethyl 3-carboxyl­ate group and to a meth­oxy­benzene group. The fused-ring system is quasi-planar, with the greatest deviation from the mean plane being 0.131 (1) A for the methine C atom. The plane through the meth­oxy­benzene ring is nearly perpendicular to that through the fused-ring system, as indicated by the dihedral angle of 85.72 (6)°. An intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond is noted. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers that stack along the a axis.
