7-Bromo-2-methyl-1-(phenyl­sulfon­yl)naphtho[2,1-b]furan

The title compound, C(19)H(13)BrO(3)S, was prepared by the oxidation of 7-bromo-2-methyl-1-(phenyl­sulfan­yl)naph­tho[2,1-b]furan with 3-chloro­peroxy­benzoic acid. The phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 80.4 (2)° with the plane of the naphthofuran fragment. The crystal structure is stabilized by aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions between the brominated benzene ring and the central benzene ring of the naphthofuran system of neighbouring mol­ecules; the centroid–centroid distances within the stack are 3.889 (3) and 3.981 (3) Å. In addition, the stacked mol­ecules exhibit C—H⋯π, inter- and intra­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions.
