2-(4-Bromo­phen­yl)-5-fluoro-3-phenyl­sulfinyl-1-benzofuran

In the title compound, C(20)H(12)BrFO(2)S, the O atom and the phenyl group of the phenyl­sulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane through the benzofuran fragment; the phenyl ring is nearly perpendicular to this plane [dihedral angle = 86.98 (6)°]. The 4-bromo­phenyl ring is rotated slightly out of the benzofuran plane, making a dihedral angle of 1.56 (8)°. The crystal structure features aromatic π–π inter­actions between the furan and phenyl rings of neighbouring mol­ecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.506 (3) Å], and an inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­action. The crystal structure also exhibits a short inter­molecular S⋯S contact [3.2635 (8) Å].
