In the title compound, C15H10BrFO2S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methylsulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane through the benzofuran fragment. The 4-bromophenyl ring is rotated out of the benzofuran plane [dihedral angle = 38.98 (8)°], while the structure is stabilized by an intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond and a Br⋯O halogen bond [3.036 (2) Å] and has an intermolecular C–H⋯π interaction between the 4-bromophenyl H atom and the benzene ring of an adjacent benzofuran molecule, as well as aromatic π–π interactions between the benzene rings of the benzofuran systems [centroid–centroid distance = 3.482 (3) Å].

3-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid (77%) (291 mg, 1.3 mmol) was added in small portions to a stirred solution of 2-(4-bromophenyl)-5-fluoro-3-methylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran (310 mg, 1.2 mmol) in dichloromethane (30 mL) at 273 K. After being stirred at room temperature for 3h, 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
[hexane-ethyl acetate, 1 : 2 (v/v)] to afford the title compound as a colorless solid [yield 81%, m.p. 442-443 K; Rf = 0.68 (hexane-ethyl acetate, 1 : 2 (v/v)]. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were prepared by slow evaporation of a solution of the title compound in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature.All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C–H(aromatic) = 0.93 Å C–H (aliphatic) = 0.96 Å. and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) (aromatic) H atoms and 1.5 Ueq(C) (aliphatic).

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. |

Benzofuran derivatives are of considerable interest because of their pharmacological properties (Howlett et al., 1999; Twyman & Allsop, 1999). This present work is related to our communications on the synthesis and structures of 2-(4-bromophenyl)-3-methylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran analogues, viz. 2-(4-bromophenyl)-5-methyl-3-methylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran (Choi et al., 2007a) and 2-(4-bromophenyl)-5,7-dimethyl-3-methylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran (Choi et al., 2007b). Here we report the crystal structure of the title compound (I) (Fig. 1). The benzofuran unit in (I) is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.006 (2) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. The dihedral angle formed by the planes of the benzofuran and the 4-bromophenyl rings is 38.98 (8) °. The crystal packing (Fig. 2) is stabilized by an intermolecular C–H···O hydrogen bond between the methyl H atom and the S═O unit (Table 1) and a Br···O halogen bond [Br···O2iii, 3.036 (2) Å; C–Br···O, 165.46 (7) °] (symmetry code : (iii) x, y-1, z-1) (Politzer et al., 2007). The crystal packing also has an intermolecular C–H···π interaction between a 4-bromophenyl H atom (C13) and the benzene ring of an adjacent molecule [C–H···Cgii] (Table 1), (where Cg is the centroid of the C2-C7 benzene ring). Further stability comes from aromatic π–π interactions between the benzene rings of the adjacent molecules, with a Cg···Cgiv distance of 3.482 (3) Å [symmetry code: (iv) -x + 1, -y + 1, -z + 1].
