In the title compound, C18H17ClO2S, the 4-chlorophenyl ring is oriented approximately perpendicular to the mean plane of the benzofuran ring [dihedral angle = 87.49 (5)°]. In the crystal, molecules are linked through weak intermolecular C—H⋯π interactions, forming left- and right-handed pseudo-helices along the a axis.

77% 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (269 mg, 1.2 mmol) was added in small portions to a stirred solution of 3-(4-chlorophenylsulfanyl)-2,4,6,7-tetramethyl-1-benzofuran (348 mg, 1.0 mmol) in dichloromethane (40 mL) at 273 K. After being stirred at room temperature for 4h, the mixture was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and the organic layer was separated, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated at reduced pressure. The residue was purified by
(hexane-ethyl acetate, 2:1 v/v) to afford the title compound as a colorless solid [yield 76%, m.p. 442–443 K; Rf = 0.67 (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 ethyl acetate at room temperature.All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93 Å for aryl and 0.96 Å for methyl H atoms. Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aryl and 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms.
A series of benzofuran ring system have received much attention in view of their interesting pharmacological properties such as antifungal, antimicrobial, antitumor and antiviral activities (Aslam et al., 2006; Galal et al., 2009; Khan et al., 2005). These compounds widely occur in nature (Akgul & Anil, 2003; Soekamto et al., 2003). As a part of our study of the substituent effect on the solid state structures of 3-(4-chlorophenylsulfinyl)-2-methyl-1-benzofuran analogues (Choi et al., 2010a,b,c), we report herein on the
of the title compound.In the title molecule (Fig. 1), the benzofuran unit is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.011 (2) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. The 4-chlorophenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 87.49 (5)° with the mean plane of the benzofuran fragment. The crystal packing (Fig. 2) is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H···π interactions; the first one between a methyl H atom and the 4-chlorophenyl ring (C11—H11A···Cg1i; Table 1, Cg1 is the centroid of the C13···C18 4–chlorophenyl ring), and the second one between a methyl H atom and the benzene ring (C12—H12B···Cg2ii; Table 1, Cg2 is the centroid of the C2···C7 benzene ring). The title compound crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric Pna21 in spite of having no asymmetric C atoms. The is caused by a right-hand pseudo-helix along the a axis (Fig. 2).

A series of benzofuran ring system have received much attention in view of their interesting pharmacological properties such as antifungal, antimicrobial, antitumor and antiviral activities (Aslam et al., 2006; Galal et al., 2009; Khan et al., 2005). These compounds widely occur in nature (Akgul & Anil, 2003; Soekamto et al., 2003). As a part of our study of the substituent effect on the solid state structures of 3-(4-chlorophenylsulfinyl)-2-methyl-1-benzofuran analogues (Choi et al., 2010a,b,c), we report herein on the crystal structure of the title compound.
In the title molecule (Fig. 1), the benzofuran unit is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.011 (2) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. The 4-chlorophenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 87.49 (5)° with the mean plane of the benzofuran fragment. The crystal packing (Fig. 2) is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H···π interactions; the first one between a methyl H atom and the 4-chlorophenyl ring (C11—H11A···Cg1i; Table 1, Cg1 is the centroid of the C13···C18 4–chlorophenyl ring), and the second one between a methyl H atom and the benzene ring (C12—H12B···Cg2ii; Table 1, Cg2 is the centroid of the C2···C7 benzene ring). The title compound crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric space group Pna21 in spite of having no asymmetric C atoms. The space group is caused by a right-hand pseudo-helix along the a axis (Fig. 2).
