In the mol-ecule of the title thio-ester, C(14)H(12)O(2)S, the dihedral angle between the phenyl and benzene rings is 71.8 (3)°. The meth-oxy group is essentially coplanar with the benezene ring to which it is bonded, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0065 (5) Å for the non-H atoms involved. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯π inter-actions are present.
