5-Bromo-2-methyl-3-(3-methylphenylsulfinyl)-1-benzofuran

Abstract

In the title compound, C16H13BrO2S, the dihedral angle between the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.012 (1) Å] of the benzofuran ring system and the 3-methylphenyl ring is 84.83 (4)°. In the crystal, molecules are linkedviapairs of Br...O [3.240 (1) Å] contacts, forming inversion dimers. These dimers are linked by C—H...π interactions, forming a three-dimensional network.
