Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₆H₁₂FIO₃S, the 4-fluorophenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 72.31 (6)° with the mean plane of the benzofuran fragment. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C-HO hydrogen bonds, and by an II contact [3.7764 (3) Å]. The crystal structure also exhibits a weak C-I [3.901 (3) Å] interaction and a slipped - interaction between the furan and benzene rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.845 (3), interplanar distance = 3.555 (3) and slippage = 1.465 (3) Å].
