The global minimum conformation, as computed by PCMODEL [Gajewski & Gilbert (1992). Serena Software, Bloomington, IN, USA], of the title compound agrees with that observed in the crystal. In the crystal, the torsion angles I--CH2--C--CH2O, ICH2--C--CH2--O, C--CH2--O--S and CH2--O--S--C are -57.7 (4), -61.7 (4), 171.2 (2) and -73.0 (3) degrees, respectively. Weak intermolecular hydrogen bonding connects OO--H and OS = O with an O ... O distance of 2.927 (4) A and an angle about the H atom of 165 (4) degrees.
