Propyl 2-(5-iodo-3-methyl­sulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate

In the title compound, C(14)H(15)IO(4)S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methyl­sulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran ring system. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­actions between an H atom of the propyl methyl­ene group closest to the carboxyl­ate O atom and the benzene ring of a neighbouring mol­ecule, and between an H atom of the outer propyl methyl­ene group and the furan ring of a neighbouring mol­ecule, respectively. Additionally, the crystal structure exhibits inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
