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

Abstract

In the title compound, C17H15IO2S, the dihedral angle between the benzofuran group (r.m.s. deviation = 0.009 Å) and the 4-methylbenzene ring is 12.69 (5)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked via pairs of I...O [I...O = 3.164 (1) Å, C—I...O = 166.63 (5)°] contacts into inversion-related dimers.
