5-Chloro-2-(4-methylphenyl)-3-methylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran

Abstract

In the title compound, C16H13ClO2S, the dihedral angle between the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.004 (2) Å] of the benzofuran ring system and the 4-methylphenyl ring is 29.25 (8)°. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of weak C—H...O interactions generate R22(14) loops.
