In the title compound, C8H10N2OS, the 3-(dimethyl-amino)-prop-2-en-1-one unit is approximately planar [give r.m.s. deviation] and the mean plane through the seven non-H atoms makes a dihedral angle of 8.88 (3)° with the thia-zole ring. The carbonyl and ring C=N double bonds adjacent to the carbonyl group are trans [N-C-C-O = 172.31 (15) °], while the conformation of the carbonyl and propene double bonds is cis [O-C-C-C = 2.2 (2)°]. In the crystal, short C-H⋯N and C-H⋯O inter-actions together with C-H⋯π inter-actions generate a three-dimensional network.
