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

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₉H₁₄O₃S, was prepared by the oxidation of 2-methyl-1-(phenylsulfanyl)naphtho[2,1-b]furan with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. The phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 87.13 (4)° with the plane of the naphthofuran fragment. The crystal structure is stabilized by - interactions between the furan and benzene rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.850 (2) Å] and weak C-H interactions. In addition, there are also intramolecular C-HO interactions.
