Abstract
In the title β-thiocarbonyl compound, C16H16O2S, the carbonyl and methoxy O atoms are approximately coplanar [O - C - C - O torsion angle = - 18.2 (5)°] and syn to each other, and the tolyl ring is orientated to lie over them. The dihedral angle between the planes of the two rings is 44.03 (16)°. In the crystal, supramolecular chains are formed along the c axis mediated by C - H⋯O interactions involving methine and methyl H atoms as donors, with the carbonyl O atom accepting both bonds; these pack with no specific intermolecular interactions between them.
