3-(3-Fluorophenylsulfonyl)-2,5,7-trimethyl-1-benzofuran

Abstract

In the title compound, C17H15FO3S, the 3-fluorophenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 73.39 (4)° with the mean plane of the benzofuran fragment. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure also exhibits a slipped π–π interaction between the furan and benzene rings of neighboring molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.743 (2) Å, interplanar distance = 3.543 (2) Å and slippage = 1.207 (2) Å].
