5-Bromo-7-methyl-2-(4-methylphenyl)-3-methylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran

Abstract

In the title compound, C17H15BrO2S, the 4-methylphenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 14.46 (5)° with the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.005 (1) Å] of the benzofuran fragment. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of Br...O contacts [3.151 (2) Å] into centrosymmetric dimers.
