In the title compound, C13H10ClFO3S2, the two-ring system is essentially planar, the mean plane of the benzene ring being inclined at 6.0 (2)° to the plane of the remaining four atoms. The ethylsulfanyl group is almost coplanar with the two rings [dihedral angle = 6.4 (2)°], while the carboxylate group is almost perpendicular to it [dihedral angle = 72.4 (2)°]. In the intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds link the molecules in a stacked arrangement along the a axis.

CS2 (1.0 g, 13.1 mmol) was dropwise added to a solution of methyl 3-(4-chloro-3-fluorophenyl)-3-oxopropanoate (4 g, 17.3 mmol) in DMSO (20 ml) containing KOH (1 g, 17.8 mmol). The yellow solution was stirred for about 2 h at room temperature. Then bromoethane (1.9 g, 17.3 mmol) was dropwise added to the intermediate. After 3 h, the solution was poured into water (50 ml). The crystalline product was isolated by filtration, washed with water (300 ml). The crystals were obtained by dissolving (I) in acetone (20 ml) and slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature for about 7 d.
H atoms were positioned geometrically, with O—H = 0.82 and C—H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C/O), where x = 1.2 for aromatic H and x = 1.5 for other H.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s 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 > σ(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 title compound, methyl 7-chloro-2-(ethylsulfanyl)-6-fluoro-4-oxo-4H- thiochromene-3-carboxylate (I), is a new molecule which has a potential use as antifungal. We herein report its crystal structure. The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig. 1, and selected geometric parameters are given in Table 1. The bond lengths and angles (Table 1) are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). The molecule is essentially planar, the atoms C7, C8, C9 and S1 form a plane inclined at 6.0 (2)° with the mean plane of the phenyl ring. The ethylsulfanyl group is almost coplanar with the two rings while the carboxylate group is almost perpendicular. In the crystal structure, intermolecular C—H···O and C—H···F hydrogen bonds (Table 2) link the molecules in a stacked arrangement along the a axis (Fig. 2).
