3-[(4-Chlorophenyl)sulfinyl]-2,4,6,7-tetramethyl-1-benzofuran

Abstract

In the title compound, C18H17ClO2S, the 4-chlorophenyl ring is oriented approximately perpendicular to the mean plane of the benzofuran ring [dihedral angle = 87.49 (5)°]. In the crystal, molecules are linked through weak intermolecular C—H...π interactions, forming left- and right-handed pseudo-helices along the a axis.
