Ethyl 2-(3-ethyl-sulfinyl-5-methyl-1-benzo-furan-2-yl)acetate
Abstract:
The title compound, C(15)H(18)O(4)S, was prepared by the oxidation of ethyl 2-(3-ethyl-sulfanyl-5-methyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate with 3-chloro-peroxy-benzoic acid. The crystal structure is stabilized by aromatic π-π inter-actions between the benzene rings of neighbouring mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.655 (3) Å] and by three inter-molecular C-H⋯O non-classical hydrogen bonds.

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.
