title: Isopropyl 2-(4,6-dimethyl-3-methyl-sulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate.
abstract: Mol-ecules of title compound, C(16)H(20)O(4)S, which was synthesized by the oxidation of isopropyl 2-(4,6-dimethyl-3-methyl-sulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate, inter-act through C-H⋯π inter-actions between a methyl-ene H atom and the aromatic carbon ring of the benzofuran ring system, and by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Adjacent stacked mol-ecules exhibit a carbon-yl-carbonyl inter-action [3.295 (2) Å]. The O atom of the methyl-sulfinyl group is disordered over two positions with site-occupancy factors of 0.9 and 0.1.
