5-Fluoro-2-(4-iodo­phen­yl)-3-methyl­sulfinyl-1-benzofuran

In the title compound, C(15)H(10)FIO(2)S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methyl­sulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane through the benzofuran fragment. The 4-iodo­phenyl ring is rotated out of the benzofuran plane by a dihedral angle of 39.4 (1)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by an inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond and an I⋯O halogen bond [3.055 (2) Å]. The crystal structure also exhibits an inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­action between the methyl H atom and the 4-iodo­phenyl ring of an adjacent benzofuran mol­ecule, and aromatic π–π inter­actions between the benzene rings of neighbouring benzofuran systems [centroid–centroid distance = 3.558 (3) Å].
