3-(4-Chloro­phenyl­sulfon­yl)-2-methyl­naphtho[1,2-b]furan

The title compound, C(19)H(13)ClO(3)S, was prepared by the oxidation of 3-(4-chloro­phenyl­sulfan­yl)-2-methyl­naphtho[1,2-b]furan with 3-chloro­peroxy­benzoic acid. The 4-chloro­phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 68.59 (5)° with the plane of the naphthofuran fragment. The crystal structure is stabilized by π–π inter­actions between the benzene rings of neighbouring mol­ecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.635 (3) Å], and by C—H⋯π inter­actions between a methyl H atom and the furan ring of an adjacent mol­ecule. In addition, the crystal structure exhibits inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions.
