7-Bromo-1-(4-chlorophenylsulfanyl)-2-phenylnaphtho[2,1-b]furan

Abstract

In the title compound, C24H14BrClOS, the S-bound 4-chlorophenyl ring is nearly perpendicular to the plane of the naphthofuran fragment [dihedral angle = 83.34 (3)°] and the phenyl ring in the 2-position is rotated out of the naphthofuran plane by a dihedral angle of 15.23 (5)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by aromatic π–π interactions between the furan and the central benzene rings of the neighbouring naphthofuran fragments, and between the outer benzene rings of the neighbouring naphthofuran fragments; the centroid–centroid distances within the stack are 3.879 (2) and 3.857 (2) Å. In addition, intermolecular C—Cl...π interactions [3.505 (2) Å] between the Cl atom and the 2-phenyl ring are present.
