title: 2-(1,3-Benzoxazol-2-ylsulfan-yl)-1-phenyl-ethanone.
abstract: In the title compound, C(15)H(11)NO(2)S, a new thio-benzoxazole derivative, the dihedral angle between the benzoxazole ring and the phenyl ring is 9.91 (9)°. An inter-esting feature of the crystal structure is the short C⋯S [3.4858 (17) Å] contact, which is shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii of these atoms. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked together by zigzag inter-molecular C-H⋯N inter-actions into a column along the a axis. The crystal structure is further stabilized by inter-molecular π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid = 3.8048 (10) Å].
