5-Bromo-3-(3-fluoro-phenyl-sulfin-yl)-2-methyl-1-benzofuran.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(15)H(10)BrFO(2)S, the 3-fluoro-phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 85.0 (1)° with the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.008 (2) Å] of the benzofuran fragment. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and a Br⋯O contact [3.200 (3) Å]. The crystal structure also exhibits slipped π-π inter-actions between the benzene and furan rings of neighbouring mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.619 (4) Å and slippage of 1.389 (4) Å]. In the 3-fluoro-phenyl ring, the F atom is disordered over two positions with site-occupancy factors of 0.583 (5) and 0.417 (5).
