2-Methyl-1-(3-methylphenylsulfonyl)naphtho[2,1-b]furan

Abstract

In the title compound, C20H16O3S, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the naphthofuran and 3-methylphenyl fragments is 88.56 (2)°. In the crystal, molecules are linkedviapairs of C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers. These dimers are linked by π–π interactions between the furan rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.701 (2) Å] into supramolecular chains running along thea-axis direction.
