title: Ethyl 2-(3-ethyl-sulfinyl-5-methyl-1-benzo-furan-2-yl)acetate.
abstract: The title compound, C(15)H(18)O(4)S, was prepared by the oxidation of ethyl 2-(3-ethyl-sulfanyl-5-methyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate with 3-chloro-peroxy-benzoic acid. The crystal structure is stabilized by aromatic π-π inter-actions between the benzene rings of neighbouring mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.655 (3) Å] and by three inter-molecular C-H⋯O non-classical hydrogen bonds.
