Abstract
The title compound, C17H16O3S, crystallized with two independent molecules (AandB) in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angle between the benzofuran ring system [r.m.s. deviation of 0.013 (1) forAand 0.009 (1) Å forB] and the 2-methylphenyl ring is 83.88 (5) forAand 86.94 (5)° forB. In the crystal, theBmolecules are linked into a chain along theb-axis direction by C—H...O hydrogen bonds. TheAmolecules are connected on either side of this chain by further C—H...O hydrogen bonds. These chains are linkedviaC—H...π interactions, forming sheets parallel to (100). There are also very weak π–π interactions present [centroid–centroid distance = 3.925 (11) Å] involvingthe 2-methylphenyl rings of neighbouringAandBmolecules.
