Abstract: There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₆O₃S. In the crystal structure, the carboxyl groups are involved in intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds, which link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers. These dimers are further packed into stacks along the a axis by aromatic - interactions between the furan rings of adjacent molecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.430 (4) Å] and by additional C-H and C-HO interactions.
