In the title compound, C26H28O2S, the dihedral angles between the mean plane of the five membered ring and the 4-(methylsulfanyl)benzylidine ring in the two crystallographically independent molecules are 34.05 (10) and 40.53 (15)°. The packing is stabilized by intermolecular O-H...O and C-H...O interactions.
