5-Cyclo­hexyl-2-(4-fluoro­phen­yl)-3-phenyl­sulfinyl-1-benzo­furan

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(26)H(23)FO(2)S, contains two independent mol­ecules (A and B), in both of which the cyclo­hexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. The benzo­furan ring systems, the 4-fluoro­phenyl and phenyl rings are essentially planar, with r.m.s. deviations of 0.008 (1), 0.002 (1) and 0.003 (1) Å, respectively, for mol­ecule A, and 0.016 (1), 0.004 (1) and 0.002 (1) Å, respectively, for mol­ecule B. The dihedral angles between the benzo­furan ring system and the pendant 4-fluoro­phenyl and phenyl rings are 12.3 (7) and 85.42 (4)°, respectively, for mol­ecule A, and 39.67 (6) and 72.17 (4)°, respectively, for mol­ecule B. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions, resulting in a three-dimensional network.
