In the title molecule, C16H19IO4S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methylsulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment. In the crystal, pairs of molecules are linked by I⋯O [3.114 (3) Å] halogen bonding into centrosymmetric dimers. The is further stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O nonclassical hydrogen bonds.

The 77% 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (247 mg, 1.1 mmol) was added in small portions to a stirred solution of isoamyl 2-(5-iodo-3-methylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate (434 mg, 1.0 mmol) in dichloromethane (30 ml) at 273 K. After being stirred for 3 h at room temperature, 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 0.91 (d, J = 6.6 Hz, 6H), 1.53 (q, J = 6.6 Hz, 2H), 1.61-1.72 (m, 1H), 3.07 (s, 3H), 4.03 (s, 2H), 4.18 (t, J = 6.96 Hz, 2H), 7.29 (d, J = 8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.66 (dd, J = 8.8 Hz and 1,84 Hz, 1H), 8.28 (d, J = 1.8 Hz, 1H); EI-MS 434 [M+].

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

As a part of our continuing studies on the synthesis and structure of alkyl 2-(5-iodo-3-methylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate analogues, we have recently described the crystal structure of propyl 2-(5-iodo-3-methylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate (Choi et al., 2009a) and butyl 2-(5-iodo-3-methylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate (Choi et al., 2009b). Here we report the crystal structure of the title compound, (I) (Fig. 1).
In (I), the benzofuran unit is essentially planar, with the mean deviation of 0.017 (3) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. Two molecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimer by an I···O halogen bonding (Politzer et al., 2007) between the iodine atom and the oxygen of a neighbouring S═O unit, with an I···O distance of 3.114 (3) Å. The molecular packing (Fig. 2) is stabilized by two intermolecular C—H···O nonclassical hydrogen bonds - between the benzene H atom and the S═O unit, and between the methyl H atom of the methylsulfinyl substituent and the C═O unit, respectively (Fig. 2 and Table 1).
