2-(4-Bromophenyl)-5-fluoro-3-phenylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran

In the title compound, C20H12BrFO2S, the O atom and the phenyl group of the phenylsulfinyl 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-bromophenyl ring is rotated slightly out of the benzofuran plane, making a dihedral angle of 1.56 (8)°. The crystal structure features aromatic π–π interactions between the furan and phenyl rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.506 (3) Å], and an intermolecular C—H...π interaction. The crystal structure also exhibits a short intermolecular S...S contact [3.2635 (8) Å].
