R factor = 0.042; wR factor = 0.116; data-to-parameter ratio = 19.1. In the title compound, C18H18O3S, the 4-methylphenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 86.35 (3) with the mean plane [mean deviation = 0.006 (1) Å] of the benzofuran fragment. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—H O and C— H interactions. The crystal structure also exhibits weak – interactions between the furan and benzene rings of neighbouring benzofuran systems [centroid–centroid distance = 3.685 (2), interplanar distance = 3.572 (2) and slippage = 0.906 (2) Å].
