N-[4-(9-Chloro­quino[3,2-b]benzo[1,4]thia­zin-6-yl)but­yl]acetamide

In the title mol­ecule, C(21)H(20)ClN(3)OS, the tetra­cyclic system is close to planar [r.m.s. deviation = 0.110 (4) Å]. The dihedral angle between the quinoline ring system and the benzene ring is 178.3 (1)° and the angle between two (S—C=C—N) halves of the thia­zine ring is 173.4 (1)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are arranged via π–π inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.603 (2)–3.739 (2) Å] into slipped stacks extending along [010]. Inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the amide groups of neighbouring mol­ecules along the stack, generating a C(4) motif. The title compound shows promising anti­proliferative and anti­cancer activity.
