5-Cyclohexyl-3-ethylsulfinyl-2-(3-fluorophenyl)-1-benzofuran

Abstract

In the title compound, C22H23FO2S, the cyclohexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.013 (2) Å] of the benzofuran ring system and the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.009 (2) Å] of the 3-fluorophenyl ring is 24.80 (4)°. In the crystal, molecules are connected by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [10-1]. These chains are linked via C—H...F hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional structure. There are also interplanar interactions present involving the furan ring of the benzofuran ring system and the 3-fluorophenyl ring [centroid–centroid distance = 3.728 (2) Å].
