title: 1-(1-Benzofuran-2-yl)-2-(phenyl-sulfon-yl)ethanone.
abstract: The overall mol-ecular conformation of the title compound, C(16)H(12)O(4)S, is elongated, the dihedral angle formed between the benzofuran (r.m.s. deviation = 0.018 Å) and benzene rings being 24.81 (6)°. Both sulfonyl O atoms lie to one side of the S-bound benzene ring, and the carbonyl and furan O atoms are syn to each other. Supra-molecular arrays parallel to (101) sustained by C-H⋯O contacts feature in the crystal packing.
