(Received 30 March 2009; accepted 1 April 2009; online 8 April 2009)

The title compound, C14H16O3S, was prepared by alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl 2-(3-methyl­sulfanyl-5-propyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate. In the crystal structure, the carboxyl groups are involved in inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which link the mol­ecules into centrosymmetric dimers. These dimers are further packed into stacks along the a axis by weak C—H⋯π inter­actions.

Comment top

This work is related to our communications on the synthesis and structure of 2-(3-methylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetic acid derivatives, viz. 2-(5-ethyl-3-methylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetic acid (Seo et al., 2007) and 2-(5,7-dimethyl-3-methylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetic acid (Choi et al., 2008). Here we report the crystal structure of the title compound, 2-(3-methylsulfanyl-5-propyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetic acid (Fig. 1).

The benzofuran unit is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.005 (3) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. In the crystal structure, the carboxyl groups are involved in intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2 and Table 1; symmetry code as in Fig. 2), which link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers. These dimers are further packed into stacks along the a-axis by weak C—H···π interactions, with a C12—H12A···Cgii separation of 3.04 Å (Fig. 2 and Table 1; Cg is the centroid of the C1/C2/C7/O1/C8 furan ring, symmetry code as in Fig. 2).

Experimental top

Ethyl 2-(3-methylsulfanyl-5-propyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate (334 mg, 1.2 mmol) was added to a solution of potassium hydroxide (337 mg, 6.0 mmol) in water (20 ml) and methanol (20 ml), and the mixture was refluxed for 5h, then cooled. Water was added, and the solution was extracted with dichloromethane. The aqueous layer was acidified to pH 1 with concentrated hydrochloric acid and then extracted with chloroform, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by column chromatography (ethyl acetate) to afford the title compound as a colorless solid [yield 84%, m.p. 395-396 K; Rf = 0.78 (ethyl acetate)]. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were prepared by evaporation of a solution of the title compound in diisopropyl ether at room temperature. Spectroscopic analysis: 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 0.96 (t, J = 7.32 Hz, 3H), 1.64-1.73 (m, 2H), 2.33 (s, 3H), 2.70 (t, J = 7.68 Hz, 2H), 4.03 (s, 2H), 7.13 (dd, J = 8.44 Hz and 1.44 Hz, 1H), 7.36 (d, J = 8.44 Hz, 1H), 7.43 (s, 1H), 10.02 (s, 1H); EI-MS 264 [M+].

Refinement top

All H atoms were geometrically positioned and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93 (aromatic), 0.97 (methylene), 0.96 Å (methyl) H atoms, and O—H = 0.82 respectively, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) (aromatic, methylene), 1.5Ueq(C) (methyl), and 1.5Ueq(O) H atoms.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
