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 – interactions between the benzene rings of neighbouring molecules, with a centroid–centroid separation of 3.841 (3) A.
