77% 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (224 mg, 1.0 mmol) was added in small portions to a stirred solution of 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-iodo-3-isopropylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran (371 mg, 0.9 mmol) in dichloromethane (40 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 at reduced pressure. The residue was purified by
(hexane-ethyl acetate, 2:1 v/v) to afford the title compound as a colorless solid [yield 76%, m.p. 430–431 K. Rf = 0.65 (hexane–ethyl acetate, 2:1 v/v)]. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were prepared by slow evaporation of a solution of the title compound in acetone at room temperature.All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.95 Å for aryl, 1.00 Å for methine, and 0.98 Å for methyl H atoms. Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aryl and methine, and 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms.
Many compounds involving a benzofuran ring have received much attention in view of their potent pharmacological properties such as antifungal, antitumor and antiviral, antimicrobial activities (Aslam et al., 2006, Galal et al., 2009, Khan et al., 2005). These compounds widely occur in nature (Akgul & Anil, 2003; Soekamto et al., 2003). As a part of our continuing studies of the substituent effect on the solid state structures of 3-alkylsulfinyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-iodo-1-benzofuran analogues (Choi et al., 2010a,b), we report herein on the
of the title compound.In the title molecule (Fig. 1), the benzofuran unit is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.009 (2) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. The dihedral angle formed by the mean plane of the benzofuran ring and the 4-fluorophenyl ring is 18.88 (9)°. The molecular packing is stabilized by an I···O halogen-bonding between the iodine and the oxygen of the S═O unit [I1···O2i = 3.153 (2) Å; C4—I1···O2i = 170.73 (6)°; (i) - x + 1, - y, - z + 2 ] (Politzer et al., 2007).

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. |

Many compounds involving a benzofuran ring have received much attention in view of their potent pharmacological properties such as antifungal, antitumor and antiviral, antimicrobial activities (Aslam et al., 2006, Galal et al., 2009, Khan et al., 2005). These compounds widely occur in nature (Akgul & Anil, 2003; Soekamto et al., 2003). As a part of our continuing studies of the substituent effect on the solid state structures of 3-alkylsulfinyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-iodo-1-benzofuran analogues (Choi et al., 2010a,b), we report herein on the crystal structure of the title compound.
In the title molecule (Fig. 1), the benzofuran unit is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.009 (2) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. The dihedral angle formed by the mean plane of the benzofuran ring and the 4-fluorophenyl ring is 18.88 (9)°. The molecular packing is stabilized by an I···O halogen-bonding between the iodine and the oxygen of the S═O unit [I1···O2i = 3.153 (2) Å; C4—I1···O2i = 170.73 (6)°; (i) - x + 1, - y, - z + 2 ] (Politzer et al., 2007).
