Isopropyl 2-(5-fluoro-3-methylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate

Abstract

In the title compound, C14H15FO4S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methylsulfinyl substituent are located on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment which is essentially planar with a mean deviation of 0.008 (1) Å from its least-squares plane. The crystal structure stabilized by three different intermolecular non-classical C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure also exhibits aromatic π–π interactions between the benzene rings of adjacent benzofuran ring systems [centroid–centroid distance = 3.688 (2) Å]
