In the title compound, C17H15BrO2S, the dihedral angle between the plane of the benzofuran ring system [r.m.s. deviation = 0.004 (3) Å] and that of the 4-methylphenyl ring is 0.9 (2)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H⋯O, C—H⋯π and Br⋯π [3.636 (2) Å] interactions, and by π–π interactions between the 4-methylphenyl and furan rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.650 (2) Å], forming a three-dimensional network.

3-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid (77%, 269 mg, 1.2 mmol) was added in small portions to a stirred solution of 5-bromo-3-ethylsulfanyl-2-(4-methylphenyl)-1-benzofuran (382 mg, 1.1 mmol) in dichloromethane (35 mL) at 273 K. After being stirred at room temperature for 5h, 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, 1:1 v/v) to afford the title compound as a colorless solid [yield 71%, m.p. 404–405 K; Rf = 0.54 (hexane–ethyl acetate, 1:1 v/v)]. 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 = 0.95 Å for aryl, 0.99 Å for methylene and 0.98 Å for methyl H atoms, respectively. Uiso (H) = 1.2Ueq (C) for aryl and methylene, and 1.5Ueq (C) for methyl H atoms. The positions of methyl hydrogens were optimized using the SHELXL-97's command AFIX 137 (Sheldrick, 2008). The highest peak in the difference map is 0.91 Å from Br1 and the largest hole is 0.59 Å from Br1.
As a part of our ongoing project of 2-aryl-5-bromo-1-benzofuran derivatives containing [3-ethylsulfinyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)] (Choi et al., 2010) and [2-(4-methylphenyl)-3-methylsulfinyl] (Choi et al., 2012) substituents. 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 0.004 (3) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. The 4-methylphenyl ring is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.002 (3) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the six constituent atoms. The dihedral angle formed by the benzofuran ring system and the 4-methylphenyl ring is 0.9 (2)°. In the π hydrogen bonds (Table 1, Cg1 is the centroid of the C9–C14 4-methylphenyl ring) and C4—Br1···π interactions between the bromine atom and the benzene ring of a neighbouring molecule with a Br1···Cg3iii = 3.636 (2) Å (Cg3 is the centroid of the C2–C7 benzene ring). The crystal packing (Fig. 2) also exhibits π···π interactions between the 4-methylphenyl and furan rings of neighbouring molecules, with a Cg1···Cg2ii distance of 3.650 (2) Å (Cg2 is the centroid of the C1/C2/C7/O1/C8 furan ring), forming a three-dimensional network.
(Fig. 2), molecules are linked by C—H···O and C—H···For background information and the crystal structures of related compounds, see: Choi et al. (2010, 2012).

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 ongoing project of 2-aryl-5-bromo-1-benzofuran derivatives containing [3-ethylsulfinyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)] (Choi et al., 2010) and [2-(4-methylphenyl)-3-methylsulfinyl] (Choi et al., 2012) substituents. 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 0.004 (3) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. The 4-methylphenyl ring is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.002 (3) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the six constituent atoms. The dihedral angle formed by the benzofuran ring system and the 4-methylphenyl ring is 0.9 (2)°. In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), molecules are linked by C—H···O and C—H···π hydrogen bonds (Table 1, Cg1 is the centroid of the C9–C14 4-methylphenyl ring) and C4—Br1···π interactions between the bromine atom and the benzene ring of a neighbouring molecule with a Br1···Cg3iii = 3.636 (2) Å (Cg3 is the centroid of the C2–C7 benzene ring). The crystal packing (Fig. 2) also exhibits π···π interactions between the 4-methylphenyl and furan rings of neighbouring molecules, with a Cg1···Cg2ii distance of 3.650 (2) Å (Cg2 is the centroid of the C1/C2/C7/O1/C8 furan ring), forming a three-dimensional network.
