The overall molecular conformation of the title compound, C16H12O4S, is elongated, the dihedral angle formed between the benzofuran (r.m.s. deviation = 0.018 Å) and benzene rings being 24.81 (6)°. Both sulfonyl O atoms lie to one side of the S-bound benzene ring, and the carbonyl and furan O atoms are syn to each other. Supramolecular arrays parallel to (101) sustained by C—H⋯O contacts feature in the crystal packing.

The title compound was prepared according to the reported method (Takahashi et al., 1986). The yellow crystals were isolated from a mixture of EtOH/DMF (v/v = 3/1) by slow evaporation at room temperature.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions [C—H 0.95 to 0.99 Å, Uiso(H) 1.2Ueq(C)] and were included in the
in the riding model approximation.The investigation of the title compound, (I), a composite of sulphone and benzofuran groups, was motivated by the known biological activity of each component (Garuti et al., 2002; Abdel-Aziz & Mekawey, 2009) and represents a continuation of on-going biological and structural studies in this area (Abdel-Wahab et al., 2009; Abdel-Aziz et al., 2009; Abdel-Aziz et al., 2011).
With respect to the S-bound benzene ring in (I), Fig. 1, the two sulfonyl-O atoms lie to one side and the methylene group to the other. The benzofuran group is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.018 Å) and is splayed out with respect to the rest of the molecule. The dihedral angle between the S-bound benzene and benzofuran rings is 24.81 (6) ° so that overall the molecule has a flattened shape. The carbonyl- and benzofuran-O atoms are syn to each other.
The crystal packing is dominated by C—H···O interactions, Table 1, involving all but the benzofuran-O4 atom. These lead to the formation of supramolecular arrays parallel to (101), Fig. 2. There are no specific interactions between the layers, Fig. 3.

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 investigation of the title compound, (I), a composite of sulphone and benzofuran groups, was motivated by the known biological activity of each component (Garuti et al., 2002; Abdel-Aziz & Mekawey, 2009) and represents a continuation of on-going biological and structural studies in this area (Abdel-Wahab et al., 2009; Abdel-Aziz et al., 2009; Abdel-Aziz et al., 2011).
With respect to the S-bound benzene ring in (I), Fig. 1, the two sulfonyl-O atoms lie to one side and the methylene group to the other. The benzofuran group is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.018 Å) and is splayed out with respect to the rest of the molecule. The dihedral angle between the S-bound benzene and benzofuran rings is 24.81 (6) ° so that overall the molecule has a flattened shape. The carbonyl- and benzofuran-O atoms are syn to each other.
The crystal packing is dominated by C—H···O interactions, Table 1, involving all but the benzofuran-O4 atom. These lead to the formation of supramolecular arrays parallel to (101), Fig. 2. There are no specific interactions between the layers, Fig. 3.
