Methyl 2-[5-(4-hydroxy-phen-yl)-3-methyl-sulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl]acetate.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(18)H(16)O(4)S, the 4-hydroxy-phenyl ring is rotated out of the benzofuran plane, making a dihedral angle of 34.52 (6)°. The methyl group of the methyl-sulfanyl substituent is almost perpendicular to the plane of the benzofuran fragment [100.90 (8)°] and is slightly tilted towards it. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and by inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions between a methyl H atom of the methyl-sulfanyl substituent and the 4-hydroxy-phenyl ring.
