title: 2-(5-Methyl-3-methyl-sulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetic acid.
abstract: In the title compound, C(12)H(12)O(4)S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methyl-sulfinyl substituent are located on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular C-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions are found. The structure also exhibits aromatic π-π inter-actions between the furan and benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.841 (5) Å].
