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

Abstract

In the title compound, C22H24O3S, the cyclohexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.010 (1) Å] of the benzofuran ring system and the benzene ring is 81.78 (4)°. In the crystal, molecules are linkedviapairs of C—H...π interactions into inversion dimers. These dimers are further linked by C—H...π interactions into supramolecular chains running along theb-axis direction. In addition, C—H...O hydrogen bonds are observed between inversion-related dimers.
