3-(4-Bromo­phenyl­sulfin­yl)-5-fluoro-2-methyl-1-benzofuran

There are two symmetry-independent mol­ecules, A and B, in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(15)H(10)BrFO(2)S. The dihedral angle formed by the 4-bromo­phenyl ring and the mean plane of the benzofuran fragment is 88.26 (6)° in mol­ecule A and 88.25 (6)° in mol­ecule B. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯F, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions. The crystal structure also exhibits inter­molecular C—Br⋯π [3.737 (3) Å] inter­actions, and weak π–π inter­actions between the benzene and furan rings of neighbouring mol­ecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.557 (3) Å, inter­planar distance = 3.421 (3) Å and slippage = 0.974 (3) Å].
