3-Cyclo­pentyl­sulfonyl-5-fluoro-2-methyl-1-benzofuran

There are two independent mol­ecules, A and B, in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(14)H(15)FO(3)S, in each of which the cyclo­pentyl ring adopts an envelope conformation. The benzofuran units in each mol­ecule are essentially planar, with mean deviations from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent ring atoms of 0.009 (2) Å for mol­ecule A and 0.013 (2) Å for mol­ecule B. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the cyclo­pentyl ring of mol­ecule B, one C atom is disordered over two positions with site-occupancy factors of 0.60 (2) and 0.40 (2).
