Propyl 2-(5-chloro-3-methyl­sulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate

In the title compound, C(14)H(15)ClO(4)S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methyl­sulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment. The crystal structure is stabilized by aromatic π–π inter­actions between the benzene rings of neighbouring mol­ecules [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.635 (3) Å], and by C—H⋯π inter­actions between a propyl methyl­ene H atom and the furan ring of an adjacent mol­ecule. In addition, the crystal structure exhibits weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
