title: 2,5-Dimethyl-3-(4-methyl-phenyl-sulfon-yl)-1-benzo-furan.
abstract: In the title compound, C17H16O3S, the dihedral angle between the 4-methyl-phenyl ring and the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.011 (1) Å] of the benzo-furan ring system is 71.47 (5)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and by slipped π-π inter-actions between the benzo-furan ring systems of neighbouring mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distances = 3.638 (2) and 3.766 (2) Å, inter-planar distances = 3.564 (2) and 3.454 (2) Å, and slippages = 0.730 (2) and 1.501 (2) Å], forming a three-dimensional network.
