The title compound, C17H15BrO2S, which was synthesized by the oxidation of 5-bromo-2,4,6-trimethyl-3-phenylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, features a trigonally-coordinated S atom. The phenyl ring is approximately perpendicular to the plane of the benzofuran fragment [dihedral angle 75.11 (7)°]. The is stabilized by non-classical C—H⋯O and Br⋯Br interactions [3.7169 (6) Å].

77% 3-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid (123 mg, 0.55 mmol) was added in small portions to a stirred solution of 5-bromo-2,4,6-trimethyl-3-phenylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran (174 mg, 0.5 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 ml) at 273 K. After being stirred at room temperature for 4 h, the mixture was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and the organic layer was separated, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuum. The residue was purified by δ 2.36 (s, 3H), 2.47 (s, 3H), 2.72 (s, 3H), 7.21 (s, 1H), 7.41–7.49 (m, 5H); EI—MS 364 [M+2], 362 [M+].

Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were prepared by evaporation of a solution of the title compound in benzene at room temperature. Spectroscopic analysis: 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz)All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H=0.93 Å for aromatic H atoms and 0.96 Å for methyl H atoms, respectively, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic H atoms and 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

This work is related to our communications on the synthesis and structures of 2-methyl-3-phenylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran analogues, viz. 5-bromo-2-methyl-3-phenylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran (Seo et al., 2007) and 5-iodo-2,7-dimethyl-3-phenylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran (Choi et al., 2008). Here we report the crystal structure of the title compound, 5-bromo-2,4,6-trimethyl-3-phenylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran (Fig. 1).
The benzofuran unit is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.023 (2) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. The phenyl ring (C9—C14) is almost perpendicular to the plane of the benzofuran ring system [75.11 (7)°]. The crystal packing (Fig. 2) is stabilized by intermolecular C—H···O interactions between a phenyl H atom of the phenylsulfinyl substituent and the oxygen of S?O unit, with a C14—H14···O2i separation of 2.54 Å (Fig. 2 and Table 1; symmetry code as in Fig. 2). Further stability comes from a Br···Brii interaction at 3.7169 (6) Å (Fig. 2).
