In the crystal of the title compound, C(8)H(9)NO(2)S, synthesized by the oxidation of 2-(methyl-sulfan-yl)benzamide using NaOCl with 2,2,6,6-tetra-methyl-piperidyl-1-oxy (TEMPO) as the catalyst, mol-ecules are linked via inter-molecular N-H⋯O(amide) hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric amide-amide dimers which are extended into a two-dimensional lamellar framework parallel to (100) through a...

The title compound, C(12)H(11)ClO(4)S, was prepared by the oxidation of methyl 2-(5-chloro-3-methyl-sulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate with 3-chloro-peroxy-benzoic acid. The O atom and the methyl group of the methyl-sulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment. The crystal structure is stabilized by aromatic π-π inter-actions between the benzene rings of ne...

In the title compound, C(11)H(11)BrO(2)S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methyl-sulfinyl substituent are located on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment. The crystal structure is stabilized by non-classical inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding, and by inter-molecular C-Br⋯π inter-actions, with C-Br⋯Cg = 3.629 Å (Cg is the centroid of the benzene ring). In addition, t...

In the title compound, C(16)H(12)FIO(2)S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methyl-sulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane through the benzofuran fragment. The 4-fluoro-phenyl ring is rotated slightly out of the benzofuran plane, as indicated by the dihedral angle of 7.43 (6)°. In the crystal structure, pairs of short I⋯O [3.074 (2) Å] contacts link the mol-ecules into cent...

In the title compound, C(17)H(15)FO(2)S, the O atom and the 4-fluoro-phenyl group of the 4-fluoro-phenyl-sulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran; the 4-fluoro-phenyl ring is almost perpendicular to this plane, making a dihedral angle of 88.99 (4)°. The crystal structure exhibits inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions between the methyl H a...

An operationally simple one-pot, two-step procedure for the desymmetrization of benzils is herein described. This consists in the chemoselective cross-benzoin reaction of symmetrical benzils with aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by the methyl sulfinyl (dimsyl) anion, followed by microwave-assisted oxidation of the resulting benzoylated benzoins with nitrate, avoiding the costly isolation procedure....

In the title compound, C(12)H(11)FO(4)S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methyl-sulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment [O-S-C-C and C-S-C-C torsion angles = 126.70 (13) and -123.55 (13)°, respectively]. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak non-classical inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter-actions. The crystal structure also exhibit...

In the title mol-ecule, C(21)H(15)FO(2)S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methyl-sulfinyl substituent are situated on the opposite sides of the plane through the benzofuran fragment. The benzofuran ring plane makes dihedral angles of 28.63 (6) and 31.55 (5)° with the 4-fluoro-phenyl and phenyl rings, respectively. Weak C-H⋯F and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-action...
