Abstract: 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 - interactions between the benzene rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.698 (4) Å], and by C-H 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-HO contacts. The butyl group is disordered over two positions, with site-occupancy factors, from refinement, of 0.720 (8) and 0.280 (8).
