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

Abstract

In the title compound, C16H12BrFO2S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methylsulfinyl substituent are located on opposite sides of the plane through the benzofuran fragment. The 4-fluorophenyl ring is rotated out of the benzofuran plane, as indicated by the dihedral angle of 16.17 (5)°. The crystal structure exhibits an intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond and a Br...O halogen interaction [3.112 (2) Å].
