Abstract
In the molecule of the title thioester, C14H12O2S, the dihedral angle between the phenyl and benzene rings is 71.8 (3)degrees. The methoxy group is essentially coplanar with the benezene ring to which it is bonded, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0065 (5) A degrees for the non-H atoms involved. In the crystal, weak C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions are present.
