2-(4-Bromo-phen-yl)-5-fluoro-3-phenyl-sulfinyl-1-benzofuran.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(20)H(12)BrFO(2)S, the O atom and the phenyl group of the phenyl-sulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane through the benzofuran fragment; the phenyl ring is nearly perpendicular to this plane [dihedral angle = 86.98?(6)°]. The 4-bromo-phenyl ring is rotated slightly out of the benzofuran plane, making a dihedral angle of 1.56?(8)°. The crystal structure features aromatic ?-? inter-actions between the furan and phenyl rings of neighbouring mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.506?(3)?Å], and an inter-molecular C-H?? inter-action. The crystal structure also exhibits a short inter-molecular S?S contact [3.2635?(8)?Å].
