S.-R. Guo and Y.-Q. Yuan

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₄H₁₂O₃S, is an important synthetic intermediate in organic synthesis whose derivatives show favourable antiviral activity [Tetsushi, Yuji, Hirotaka, Masaki, Katsunori & Shozo (2003). Green Chem. 6, 690-692]. The average S-C and S=O bond lengths are1.781 (3) and 1.436 (2) Å, respectively, and the two benzene planes are almost perpendicular to one another, forming a dihedral angle of 103.79 (9)°.<
