organic compounds
In the title molecule, [3,7-bis(dimethylamino)phenothiazin-10-yl]-N-carbamoylacetic acid-ethanol(1/1), the phenothiazine ring adopts a boat conformation, with one S and N atoms occupying the bow and stern positions, respectively. The dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 131 (1)°. The system of conjugation in the molecule is remarkably different from that in methylene blue.
