Crystal structure of 5-chloro-2-(3-fluorophenyl)-3-methylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran

Abstract

In the title compound, C15H10ClFO2S, the dihedral angle between the plane of the benzofuran ring system [r.m.s. deviation = 0.013 (1) Å] and that of the 3-fluorophenyl ring [r.m.s. deviation = 0.005 (1) Å] is 31.36 (5)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by two different pairs of C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers.
