2-(4-Fluorophenyl)-5-iodo-3-phenylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran

Abstract

In the title compound, C20H12FIO2S, the dihedral angles between the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.014 (1) Å] of the benzofuran fragment and the pendant 4-fluorophenyl and phenyl rings are 8.0 (1) and 86.06 (6)°, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure also exhibits weak π–π interactions between the furan and benzene rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.547 (2) Å, interplanar distance = 3.397 (2) Å and slippage = 1.021 (2) Å].
