Abstract
The crystal structures of 6-meth-oxy-1,3-benzoxa-thiol-2-one, C(9)H(8)O(3)S, (I), and 2-oxo-1,3-benzoxa-thiol-6-yl acetate, C(9)H(6)O(4)S, (II), are described. Compound (I) is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for the non-H atoms = 0.011 Å), whereas (II) shows a substantial twist between the fused-ring system and the acetate substituent [dihedral angle = 74.42 (3)°]. For both structures, the bond distances in the heterocyclic ring suggest that little if any conjugation occurs. In the crystal of (I), C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into [1-11] chains incorporating alternating R(2)(2)(8) and R(2)(2)(12) inversion dimers. The extended structure of (II) features C(7) [201] chains linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, with further C-H⋯O bonds and weak π-π stacking inter-actions connecting the chains into a three-dimensional network. Hirshfeld fingerprint analyses for (I) and (II) are presented and discussed.
