In the title compound, C15H10F2O3S, the 4-fluorophenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 73.20 (4)° with the plane of the benzofuran fragment. The is stabilized by aromatic π–π interactions between the furan and benzene rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.805 (3) Å]. The also exhibits weak intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F interactions.

77% 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (381 mg, 1.7 mmol) was added in small portions to a stirred solution of 5-fluoro-3-(4-fluorophenylsulfanyl)-2-methyl-1-benzofuran (221 mg, 0.8 mmol) in dichloromethane (40 mL) at 273 K. After being stirred at room temperature for 8h, the mixture was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and the organic layer was separated, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated at reduced pressure. The residue was purified by
(benzene) to afford the title compound as a colorless solid [yield 76%, m.p. 426–427 K; Rf = 0.49 (benzene)]. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were prepared by slow evaporation of a solution of the title compound in benzene at room temperature.All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93 Å for aryl and 0.96 Å for methyl H atoms. Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aryl and 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms.
Compounds containing a benzofuran skeleton show diverse pharmacological properties such as antifungal (Aslam et al., 2006), antitumor and antiviral (Galal et al., 2009), and antimicrobial (Khan et al., 2005) activities. These compounds widely occur in nature (Akgul & Anil, 2003; Soekamto et al., 2003). As a part of our study of the substituent effect on the solid state structures of 5-halo-2-methyl-3-phenylsulfonyl-1-benzofuran analogues (Choi et al., 2008a,b,c), we report the
of the title compound (Fig. 1).The benzofuran unit is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.013 (1) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. The dihedral angle formed by the benzofuran plane and the 4-fluorophenyl ring is 73.20 (4)°. The crystal packing (Fig. 2) is stabilized by aromatic π–π interactions between the furan and the benzene rings of neighbouring molecules, with a Cg1···Cg2iii distance of 3.805 (3) Å (Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of the C1/C2/C7/O1/C8 furan ring and the C2–C7 benzene ring, respectively). The molecular packing (Fig. 2) is further stabilized by a weak intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bond between the 4-fluorophenyl H atom and the oxygen of the O═S═O unit (C11—H11···O2i, see Table 1 for symmetry operator and numerical values). The crystal packing (Fig. 2) also exhibits C—H···F hydrogen bonds between the 4-fluorophenyl H atom and the fluorine of 4-fluorophenyl ring (C14—H14···F2ii, Table 1).

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. |

Compounds containing a benzofuran skeleton show diverse pharmacological properties such as antifungal (Aslam et al., 2006), antitumor and antiviral (Galal et al., 2009), and antimicrobial (Khan et al., 2005) activities. These compounds widely occur in nature (Akgul & Anil, 2003; Soekamto et al., 2003). As a part of our study of the substituent effect on the solid state structures of 5-halo-2-methyl-3-phenylsulfonyl-1-benzofuran analogues (Choi et al., 2008a,b,c), we report the crystal structure of the title compound (Fig. 1).
The benzofuran unit is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.013 (1) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. The dihedral angle formed by the benzofuran plane and the 4-fluorophenyl ring is 73.20 (4)°. The crystal packing (Fig. 2) is stabilized by aromatic π–π interactions between the furan and the benzene rings of neighbouring molecules, with a Cg1···Cg2iii distance of 3.805 (3) Å (Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of the C1/C2/C7/O1/C8 furan ring and the C2–C7 benzene ring, respectively). The molecular packing (Fig. 2) is further stabilized by a weak intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bond between the 4-fluorophenyl H atom and the oxygen of the O═S═O unit (C11—H11···O2i, see Table 1 for symmetry operator and numerical values). The crystal packing (Fig. 2) also exhibits C—H···F hydrogen bonds between the 4-fluorophenyl H atom and the fluorine of 4-fluorophenyl ring (C14—H14···F2ii, Table 1).
