5-Cyclohexyl-3-(3-fluorophenylsulfinyl)-2-methyl-1-benzofuran

Abstract

In the title compound, C21H21FO2S, the cyclohexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. The 3-fluorophenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 83.16 (4)° with the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.005 (1) Å] of the benzofuran ring system. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of C—H...π interactions into inversion dimers, which are further packed into stacks along the a-axis direction by C—H...π interactions.
