3-(3-Bromophenylsulfinyl)-5-cyclohexyl-2-methyl-1-benzofuran

Abstract

In the title compound, C21H21BrO2S, the cyclohexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.178 (2) Å] of the benzofuran ring system and the mean plane of the 3-bromophenyl ring is 86.52 (6)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—H...O and C—H...π hydrogen bonds, and by a slipped π–π interaction between the furan rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.518 (3) Å, interplanar distance = 3.471 (3) Å and slippage = 0.573 (3) Å], resulting in a three-dimensional network.
