The title compound, C11H9FO3S, was prepared by alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl 2-(5-fluoro-3-methylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate. In the the carboxyl groups are involved in intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers. These dimers are further packed into stacks along the b axis by intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F interactions.

Ethyl 2-(5-fluoro-3-methylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate (402 mg, 1.5 mmol) was added to a solution of potassium hydroxide (505 mg, 9.0 mmol) in water (20 ml) and methanol (20 ml), and the mixture was refluxed for 6h, then cooled. Water was added, and the solution was extracted with dichloromethane. The aqueous layer was acidified to pH 1 with concentrated hydrochloric acid and then extracted with chloroform, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by
(ethyl acetate) to afford the title compound as a colorless solid [yield 84%, m.p. 438-439 K; Rf = 0.6 (ethyl acetate)]. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were prepared by evaporation of a solution of the title compound in benzene at room temperature.The H atom of O2 was positioned in a difference Fourier map and refined freely. The other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C–H = 0.93 Å for the aryl, 0.97 Å for the methylene, and 0.96 Å for the methyl H atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for the aryl and methylene H atoms, and 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms.

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. |

The benzofuran ring systems have been attracted considerable interest in the view of their pharmacological properties (Howlett et al., 1999; Twyman & Allsop, 1999). As a part of our ongoing studies on the synthesis and structures of 2-(3-methylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetic acid analogues, the crystal structure of 2-(5-bromo-3-methylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetic acid (Choi et al., 2009a) and 2-(5-isopropyl-3-methylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetic acid (Choi et al., 2009b) have been described in the literature. Here we report the crystal structure of the title compound, 2-(5-fluoro-3-methylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetic acid (Fig. 1).
The benzofuran unit is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.005 (1) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. In the crystal structure, the carboxyl groups are involved in intermolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1 and Fig. 2), which link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers. These dimers are further packed into stacks along the b axis by intermolecular C–H···O and C–H···F interactions; the first between an H atom of benzofuran ring and the C═O unit, with C6–H6···O3i and C6–H6···O3ii, the second between a methyl H atom of methylsulfanyl group and the fluorine atom of the benzofuran ring, with C11–H11B···Fiv and C11–H11B···Fv, respectively (Table 1 and Fig. 2).
