Isopropyl 2-(4,6-dimethyl-3-methyl-sulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate
Abstract:
Mol-ecules of title compound, C(16)H(20)O(4)S, which was synthesized by the oxidation of isopropyl 2-(4,6-dimethyl-3-methyl-sulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate, inter-act through C-H⋯π inter-actions between a methyl-ene H atom and the aromatic carbon ring of the benzofuran ring system, and by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Adjacent stacked mol-ecules exhibit a carbon-yl-carbonyl inter-action [3.295 (2) Å]. The O atom of the methyl-sulfinyl group is disordered over two positions with site-occupancy factors of 0.9 and 0.1.

IUPAC Nomenclature of Aldehydes
IUPAC Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acids
For acyclic saturated monocarboxylic acids, the longest hydrocarbon chain containing the –COOH carbon is identified as the parent chain. Then, the last -e of the parent hydrocarbon name is replaced with a suffix -oic acid.
Nomenclature of Alkynes
Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Acid Halides, Esters, and Acid Anhydrides
The IUPAC and common names of acid halides are derived from the corresponding carboxylic acids, by changing “ic acid” to “yl halide.” For example, as shown below, the IUPAC name ethanoyl chloride is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetyl chloride, is obtained from acetic acid.
