Butyl 2-(5-bromo-3-methylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate

In the title compound, C15H17BrO4S, the methylsulfinyl O atom and the methyl substituents lie on opposite sides of the plane through the benzofuran fragment. The crystal structure is stabilized by π–π interactions between the benzene rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.698 (4) Å], and by C—H...π interactions between a methylene H atom of the butyl group and the benzene ring of the benzofuran system. Additionally, the crystal structure exhibits weak intermolecular C—H...O contacts. The butyl group is disordered over two positions, with site-occupancy factors, from refinement, of 0.720 (8) and 0.280 (8).
