3-(4-Fluoro­phenyl­sulfin­yl)-5-iodo-2-methyl-1-benzofuran

In the title compound, C(15)H(10)FIO(2)S, the O atom and the 4-fluoro­phenyl group of the 4-fluoro­phenyl­sulfinyl substituent are located on opposite sides of the plane through the benzofuran fragment; the 4-fluoro­phenyl ring is nearly perpendicular to this plane, making a dihedral angle of 83.37 (7)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and an I⋯O inter­action [I⋯O = 3.255 (2) Å]. The crystal structure also exhibits inter­molecular C—F⋯π inter­actions [3.068 (2) Å], and aromatic π–π inter­actions between the furan and benzene rings of neighbouring benzofuran fragments [centroid–centroid distance = 3.636 (2) Å].
