Crystal structure of 3-(2-bromophenylsulfonyl)-2,5,7-trimethyl-1-benzofuran

Abstract

In the title compound, C17H15BrO3S, the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzofuran ring system [r.m.s. deviation = 0.016 (2) Å] and the 2-bromophenyl ring is 82.93 (6)°. In the crystal, molecules are linkedviapairs of C—H...π hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions between the benzene and furan rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.881 (2) Å] into inversion-related dimers along theb-axis direction. These dimers are further linked by short Br...O [3.185 (2) Å] contacts.
