Methyl 2-(5-fluoro-3-methyl­sulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate

In the title compound, C(12)H(11)FO(4)S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methyl­sulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment [O—S—C—C and C—S—C—C torsion angles = 126.70 (13) and −123.55 (13)°, respectively]. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak non-classical inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter­actions. The crystal structure also exhibits aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions between furan/benzene and benzene/benzene rings of adjacent benzofuran ring systems [centroid–centroid distances = 3.8258 (9) and 3.8794 (9) Å] and a weak inter­molecular C—H⋯π ring inter­action.
