77% 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (247 mg, 1.1 mmol) was added in small portions to a stirred solution of 2-(4-bromophenyl)-5-fluoro-3-phenylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran (439 mg, 0.8 mmol) in dichloromethane (40 mL) at 273 K. After being stirred at room temperature for 6h, 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 column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate, 4:1 v/v) to afford the title compound as a colorless solid [yield 68%, m.p. 465–466 K; Rf = 0.75 (hexane–ethyl acetate, 4:1 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 = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
Many compounds containing a benzofuran moiety have attracted considerable interest in view of their pharmacological properties such as antifungal, antitumor and antiviral, antimicrobial activities (Aslam et al., 2006, Galal et al., 2009, Khan et al., 2005). These compounds occur widely 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 5-halo-2-phenyl-3-phenylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran analogues (Choi et al., 2009a,b,c), we report the crystal structure of the title compound (Fig. 1).
The benzofuran unit is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.063 (1) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. The dihedral angle formed by the benzofuran plane and the phenyl ring is 86.98 (6)°, and the 4-bromophenyl ring with 1.56 (8)° lies toward the benzofuran plane. The crystal packing (Fig. 2) is stabilized by aromatic π–π interactions between the furan and benzene rings of the adjacent molecules, with a Cg1···Cg2ii distance of 3.506 (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 an intermolecular C—H···π interaction between the benzene H atom and the phenyl ring of a neighbouring molecule, with a C5—H5···Cg3i (Table 1; Cg3 is the centroid of the C15–C20 phenyl ring). The crystal structure also exhibits a short intermolecular S···S contact (Munshi & Guru Row, 2004), with a S···Siv distance of 3.2635 (8) Å

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 containing a benzofuran moiety have attracted considerable interest in view of their pharmacological properties such as antifungal, antitumor and antiviral, antimicrobial activities (Aslam et al., 2006, Galal et al., 2009, Khan et al., 2005). These compounds occur widely 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 5-halo-2-phenyl-3-phenylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran analogues (Choi et al., 2009a,b,c), we report the crystal structure of the title compound (Fig. 1).
The benzofuran unit is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.063 (1) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. The dihedral angle formed by the benzofuran plane and the phenyl ring is 86.98 (6)°, and the 4-bromophenyl ring with 1.56 (8)° lies toward the benzofuran plane. The crystal packing (Fig. 2) is stabilized by aromatic π–π interactions between the furan and benzene rings of the adjacent molecules, with a Cg1···Cg2ii distance of 3.506 (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 an intermolecular C—H···π interaction between the benzene H atom and the phenyl ring of a neighbouring molecule, with a C5—H5···Cg3i (Table 1; Cg3 is the centroid of the C15–C20 phenyl ring). The crystal structure also exhibits a short intermolecular S···S contact (Munshi & Guru Row, 2004), with a S···Siv distance of 3.2635 (8) Å
