Crystal structure of 2-(3-fluorophenyl)-5-iodo-3-methylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran

Abstract

In the title compound, C15H10FIO2S, the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzofuran ring system [r.m.s. deviation = 0.015 (2) Å] and the 3-fluorophenyl ring is 29.63 (7)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked into inversion dimers along the b-axis direction by two different pairs of C—H...O hydrogen bonds and I...O [3.228 (1) Å] contacts.
