Methyl 2-(5-chloro-3-methyl-sulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(12)H(11)ClO(4)S, was prepared by the oxidation of methyl 2-(5-chloro-3-methyl-sulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate with 3-chloro-peroxy-benzoic acid. The O atom and the methyl group of the methyl-sulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment. The crystal structure is stabilized by aromatic π-π inter-actions between the benzene rings of neighbouring mol-ecules [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.809 (2) Å], and by C-H⋯π inter-actions between a methyl H atom and the furan ring of an adjacent mol-ecule. In addition, the crystal structure exhibits inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
