In the title compound, C18H17ClO2S, the 3-chlorophenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 72.62 (4)° with the mean plane of the benzofuran fragment. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions. The also exhibits a slipped π–π interaction between the 3-chlorophenyl rings of adjacent molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.751 (2) Å, interplanar distance = 3.450 (2) Å and slippage = 1.472 (2) Å].

77% 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (224 mg, 1.0 mmol) was added in small portions to a stirred solution of 3-(3-chlorophenylsulfanyl)-2,4,6,7-tetramethyl-1-benzofuran (285 mg, 0.9 mmol) in dichloromethane (30 mL) at 273 K. After being stirred at room temperature for 10h, 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, 4:1 v/v) to afford the title compound as a colorless solid [yield 76%, m.p. 447-448 K; Rf = 0.52 (hexane-ethyl acetate, 4:1 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 temperatureAll H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C–H = 0.95 Å for aryl and 0.98 Å for methyl H atoms. Uiso(H) =1.2Ueq(C) for aryl and 1.5Ueq(C)for methyl 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. |

Substituted benzofuran analogues have drawn much attention owing to their valuable biological properties such as antibacterial and antifungal, antitumor and antiviral, and antimicrobial activities (Aslam et al., 2009, Galal et al., 2009, Khan et al., 2005). These benzofuran derivatives occur in a wide range of natural products (Akgul & Anil, 2003; Soekamto et al., 2003). As a part of our continuing study of 2,4,6,7-tetramethyl-1-benzofuran derivatives containing either 3-(4-chlorophenylsulfinyl) (Choi et al., 2010) or 3-(3-fluorophenylsulfinyl) (Choi et al., 2011) substituents, we report herein the crystal structure of the title compound.
In the title molecule (Fig. 1), the benzofuran unit is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.018 (1) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. The dihedral angle between the 3-chlorophenyl ring and the mean plane of the benzofurn fragment is 72.62 (4)°. The crystal packing (Fig. 2) is stabilized by weak intermolecular C– H···O and C–H···π interactions (Table 1, Cg1 is the centroid of the C2-C7 benzene ring). The crystal packing (Fig. 2) is further stabilized by a weak slipped π–π interaction between the 3-chlorophenyl rings of adjacent molecules, with a Cg2···Cg2iv distance of 3.751 (2) Å and an interplanar distance of 3.450 (2) Å resulting in a slippage of 1.472 (2) Å (Cg2 is the centroid of the C13-C18 3-chlorophenyl ring).
