title: Crystal structure of 2-meth-oxy-2-[(4-methyl-phen-yl)sulfan-yl]-1-phenyl-ethan-1-one.
abstract: In the title β-thio-carbonyl compound, C16H16O2S, the carbonyl and meth-oxy O atoms are approximately coplanar [O-C-C-O torsion angle = -18.2 (5)°] and syn to each other, and the tolyl ring is orientated to lie over them. The dihedral angle between the planes of the two rings is 44.03 (16)°. In the crystal, supra-molecular chains are formed along the c axis mediated by C-H⋯O inter-actions involving methine and methyl H atoms as donors, with the carbonyl O atom accepting both bonds; these pack with no specific inter-molecular inter-actions between them.
