title: Crystal structure of 2,5-dimethyl-3-(2-methyl-phenyl-sulfin-yl)-1-benzo-furan.
abstract: In the title compound, C17H16O2S, the dihedral angle between the benzo-furan ring system [r.m.s. deviation = 0.009 (1) Å] and the 2-methyl-phenyl ring is 86.72 (4)°. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into columns along the b-axis direction.
