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

Abstract

In the title compound, C21H21BrO3S, the cyclohexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzofuran and 2-bromophenyl fragments is 82.47 (5)°. In the crystal, molecules related by inversion are paired into dimers via C—H...π and π–π interactions, the latter are indicated by the short distance of 3.607 (3) Å between the centroids of the furan rings. Intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds and short Br...O [3.280 (1) Å] contacts further consolidate the crystal packing.
