5-(4-Bromo­phen­yl)-2-(3,4-methyl­ene­dioxy­phen­yl)-3-methyl­sulfanyl-1-benzofuran

The title compound, C(22)H(15)BrO(3)S, crystallizes with four mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The 4-bromo­phenyl rings are rotated out of the benzofuran planes, with dihedral angles for the four mol­ecules of 20.8 (2), 17.8 (2), 23.5 (4) and 23.9 (4)°. The dihedral angles between the 3,4-methyl­ene­dioxy­phenyl ring and the benzofuran plane are 13.5 (2), 7.1 (2), 18.6 (3) and 14.2 (3)° in the four mol­ecules. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak nonclassical inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure also exhibits inter­molecular aromatic π–π inter­actions between the benzene and furan rings and between the 4-bromo­phenyl and 3,4-methyl­enedioxy­phenyl rings from mol­ecules of the same type; the centroid–centroid distances are 3.92 (1) and 3.79 (1), 3.91 (1), 3.77 (1) and 3.77 (1), and 3.79 (1) and 3.75 (1)Å in the four mol­ecules.
