5-Bromo-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-7-methyl-3-methylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran

H. D. Choi, P. J. Seo, B. W. Son and U. Lee

In the title compound, C₁₆H₁₂BrFO₂S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methylsulfinyl substituent are located on opposite sides of the plane through the benzofuran fragment. The 4-fluorophenyl ring is rotated out of the benzofuran plane, as indicated by the dihedral angle of 16.17 (5)°. The crystal structure exhibits an intermolecular C—H

O hydrogen bond and a Br

O halogen interaction [3.112 (2) Å].

Comment top

Molecules of benzofuran ring skeleton have attracted considerable interest, on account of their pharmacological activity (Howlett et al., 1999; Twyman & Allsop, 1999) and their occurrence as natural products (Akgul & Anil, 2003; Soekamto et al., 2003). As a part of our continuing studies on the effect of side chain substituents on the solid state structures of 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-halo-3-methylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran analogues (Choi et al., 2009a, b, 2010), we report the crystal structure of the title compound (Fig. 1).

The benzofuran unit is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.014 (1) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. The dihedral angle formed by the plane of the benzofuran and the 4-fluorophenyl ring is 16.17 (5)°. The crystal packing (Fig. 2) is stabilized by an intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bond between the methyl H atom and the oxygen of the S═O unit, with a C15—H15C···O2ⁱ (Table 1and Fig. 2). The contact C-Br···O involving the the oxygen atom of the S═O unit [Br···O2ⁱⁱ = 3.112 (1) Å; C—Br···O2ⁱⁱ = 173.44 (7)°] is significantly shorter than the sum of van der Waals radia (3.40 Å) (Politzer et al., 2007).

Experimental top

77% 3-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid (247 mg, 1.1 mmol) was added in small portions to a stirred solution of 5-bromo-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-7-methyl-3-methylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran (351 mg, 1.0 mmol) in dichloromethane (30 mL) at 273 K. After being stirred at room temperature for 3 h, 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 column chromatography (hexane–ethyl acetate, 1:1 v/v) to afford the title compound as a colourless solid [yield 85%, m.p. 477–478 K; R_f = 0.71 (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 tetrahydrofuran at room temperature.

Special details top

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.
