Crystal structure of 3-(4-bromophenylsulfonyl)-2,5,6-trimethyl-1-benzofuran

Abstract

In the title compound, C17H15BrO3S, the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzofuran ring system [r.m.s. deviation = 0.015 (2) Å] and the 4-bromophenyl ring is 89.29 (6)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked into a chain along the b-axis direction by C—H...π hydrogen bonds and C—Br...π [3.626 (1) Å] interactions.
