Propyl 2-(5-iodo-3-methylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate

Abstract

In the title compound, C14H15IO4S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methylsulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran ring system. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular C—H...π interactions between an H atom of the propyl methylene group closest to the carboxylate O atom and the benzene ring of a neighbouring molecule, and between an H atom of the outer propyl methylene group and the furan ring of a neighbouring molecule, respectively. Additionally, the crystal structure exhibits intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
