title: Isopropyl 2-(5-methyl-3-methyl-sulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate.
abstract: The title compound, C(15)H(18)O(4)S, was prepared by the oxidation of isopropyl 2-(5-methyl-3-methyl-sulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate with 3-chloro-peroxy-benzoic acid. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular π-π inter-actions between the benzene rings; the centroid-centroid distance between the adjacent benzene rings (symmetry code: ) is 3.713 (2) Å. In addition, C-H⋯π and weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions are present in the structure.
