2,4,6-Trimethyl-3-phenylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran
The title compound, C17H16O2S, was prepared by the oxidation of 2,4,6-trimethyl-3-phenylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. The O atom and the phenyl group of the phenylsulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the planar benzofuran fragment. The phenyl ring is nearly perpendi...

| Summary: | The title compound, C17H16O2S, was prepared by the oxidation of 2,4,6-trimethyl-3-phenylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. The O atom and the phenyl group of the phenylsulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the planar benzofuran fragment. The phenyl ring is nearly perpendicular to the plane of the benzofuran unit [89.88 (8)°] and is tilted slightly towards it. The crystal structure is stabilized by C—H...π interactions between a phenyl H atoms and the phenyl and furan rings of neighbouring molecules. In addition, the crystal structure exhibits intermolecular C—H...O interactions. |
