3-Ethylsulfinyl-2-(4-iodophenyl)-5-methyl-1-benzofuran

Abstract

In the title compound, C17H15IO2S, the 4-iodophenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 35.39 (8)° with the plane of the benzofuran fragment. In the crystal, molecules are linked by intermolecular C—H...O and C—H...π interactions, and an I...O contact [3.378 (2) Å]. The crystal structure also exhibits aromatic π–π interactions between the benzene rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.495 (3) Å].
