In the title compound, C17H15ClO2S, the 3-chlorophenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 84.48 (4)° with the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.004 (1) Å] of the benzofuran fragment. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O, C—H⋯π and C—S⋯π [3.414 (2) Å] interactions. The also exhibits weak π–π interactions between the furan rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.826 (2), interplanar distance = 3.447 (2) and slippage = 1.660 (2) Å].

77% 3-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid (247 mg, 1.1 mmol) was added in small portions to a stirred solution of 3-(3-chlorophenylsulfanyl)-2,5,7-trimethyl-1-benzofuran (303 mg, 1.0 mmol) in dichloromethane (30 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 78%, m.p. 428–429 K; Rf = 0.49 (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 = 0.95 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.
As a part of our ongoing study of 2,5,7-trimethyl-1-benzofuran derivatives containing 3-(4-chlorophenylsulfinyl) (Choi et al.,2010), 3-(3-fluorophenylsulfinyl)(Choi et al., 2011) and 3-(4-bromophenylsulfinyl)(Choi et al., 2012) substituents, we report herein the
of the title compound.In the title molecule (Fig. 1), the benzofuran unit is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.004 (1) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. The dihedral angle between the 3-chlorobenzene ring and the mean plane of the benzofuran fragment is 84.48 (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), and by intermolecular S···π interactions between the sulfur atom and the 3-chlorobenzene ring of an adjacent molecule, with S1···Cg2iii being 3.414 (2) Å (Cg2 is the centroid of the C12–C17 3-chlorobenzene ring). Additionally, the crystal packing (Fig. 2) exhibits weak slipped π–π interactions between the furan rings of neighbouring molecules, with a with a Cg3···Cg3ii distance of 3.826 (2) Å and an interplanar distance of 3.447 (2) Å resulting in a slippage of 1.660 (2) Å (Cg3 is the centroid of the C1/C2/C7/O1/C8 furan ring).

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. |

As a part of our ongoing study of 2,5,7-trimethyl-1-benzofuran derivatives containing 3-(4-chlorophenylsulfinyl) (Choi et al.,2010), 3-(3-fluorophenylsulfinyl)(Choi et al., 2011) and 3-(4-bromophenylsulfinyl)(Choi et al., 2012) 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 0.004 (1) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. The dihedral angle between the 3-chlorobenzene ring and the mean plane of the benzofuran fragment is 84.48 (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), and by intermolecular S···π interactions between the sulfur atom and the 3-chlorobenzene ring of an adjacent molecule, with S1···Cg2iii being 3.414 (2) Å (Cg2 is the centroid of the C12–C17 3-chlorobenzene ring). Additionally, the crystal packing (Fig. 2) exhibits weak slipped π–π interactions between the furan rings of neighbouring molecules, with a with a Cg3···Cg3ii distance of 3.826 (2) Å and an interplanar distance of 3.447 (2) Å resulting in a slippage of 1.660 (2) Å (Cg3 is the centroid of the C1/C2/C7/O1/C8 furan ring).
