5-Cyclohexyl-3-(2-fluorophenylsulfonyl)-2-methyl-1-benzofuran

Abstract

In the title compound, C21H21FO3S, the cyclohexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzofuran ring system and the fluorophenyl ring is 87.61 (3)°. In the crystal, molecules related by inversion are linked into dimersviapairs of C—H...π interactions. These dimers are further linked by π–π interactions between the furan rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.407 (2) Å and between the 2-fluorophenyl rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.742 (2) Å], resulting in a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
