7-Bromo-2-methyl-1-tosyl­naphtho[2,1-b]furan

The title compound, C(20)H(15)BrO(3)S, was prepared by the oxidation of 7-bromo-2-methyl-1-(4-tolyl­sulfan­yl)naph­tho[2,1-b]furan with 3-chloro­peroxy­benzoic acid. The 4-tolyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 70.96 (6)° with the plane of the naphthofuran fragment. The crystal structure is stabilized by aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.672 (3) and 3.858 (3) Å between the central benzene and furan rings, and between the brominated benzene and central benzene rings of the naphthofuran system of neighbouring mol­ecules, respectively. In addition, the stacked mol­ecules exhibit C—H⋯π and inter- and intra­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions.
