Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₄H₁₅BrO₄S, the S atom has a distorted trigonal-pyramidal coordination. The O atom and the methyl group of the methylsulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment. The molecules form slightly slipped -stacked inversion-symmetric dimers by intermolecular aromatic - interactions, with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.695 (4) Å between the benzene rings of neighbouring molecules. The crystal packing is further stabilized by intermolecular C-H interactions between the methylene H atoms of the propyl group towards the benzene and furan rings of neighbouring molecules, respectively. Additionally, the crystal structure exhibits weak intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds.
