In the title compound, C24H16O2S, the O atom and the phenyl group of the phenylsulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the naphthofuran fragment; the phenyl ring is almost perpendicular to this plane [81.54 (5)°]. The 2-phenyl ring is rotated out of the naphthofuran plane, making a dihedral angle of 18.2 (1)°.

The 77% 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (77%, 179 mg, 0.8 mmol) was added in small portions to a stirred solution of 2-phenyl-3-(phenylsulfanyl)naphtho[1,2-b]furan (282 mg, 0.8 mmol) in dichloromethane (30 mL) at 273 K. After being stirred at room temperature for 3h, the mixture was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and the organic layer was separated, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuum. The residue was purified by
(hexane-ethyl acetate, 2 : 1 v/v) to afford the title compound as a colorless solid [yield 80%, m.p. 472-473 K; Rf = 0.52 (hexane-ethyl acetate, 2:1 v/v)]. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were prepared by slow evaporation of a solution of the title compound in benzene at room temperature.All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C–H = 0.95 Å for aromatic H atoms and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic H atoms.

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. |

The naphthofuran compounds have attracted widespread interest in view of their biological and pharmacological activities (Goel & Dixit, 2004; Piloto et al., 2005). This work is related to our communications on the synthesis and structures of naphtho[1,2-b]furan analogues, viz. 2-methyl-3-(phenylsulfonyl)naphtho[1,2-b]furan (Choi et al., 2008a) and 3-(4-chlorophenylsulfonyl)-2-methylnaphtho[1,2-b]furan (Choi et al., 2008b). We report the crystal structure of the title compound (I), 2-phenyl-3-(phenylsulfinyl)naphtho[1,2-b]furan (Fig. 1).
The naphthofuran unit is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.023 (2) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the thirteen constituent atoms. The dihedral angle in (I) formed by the plane of the naphthofuran ring and the plane of 2-phenyl ring is 18.2 (1)°, and the phenyl ring (C19-C24) with 81.54 (5)° lies toward the naphthofuran plane.
