Abstract
The title compound, C13H14O4S, was prepared by oxidation of methyl 2-(5-methyl-3-methylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. The O atom and methyl group of the methylsulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran system. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular aromatic π–π interactions between the benzene rings of neighbouring molecules, with a centroid–centroid separation of 3.841 (3) Å.
