Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₆H₁₂BrFO₂S, the 4-fluorophenyl ring is rotated out of the benzofuran plane, as indicated by the dihedral angle of 5.94 (5)°. The crystal structure exhibits aromatic - interactions between the benzene ring and the 4-fluorophenyl ring of an adjacent molecule [centroid-centroid distance = 3.632 (2) Å], and a BrO halogen bond with a BrO distance of 3.101 (1) Å.
