5-(4-Fluoro­phen­yl)-2-(4-methyl­phen­yl)-3-methyl­sulfanyl-1-benzo­furan

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(22)H(17)FOS, contains two independent mol­ecules (A and B). The dihedral angles between the benzo­furan ring systems [r.m.s. deviations of 0.026 (1), 0.004 (1) and 0.003 (1) Å, respectively, for mol­ecule A, and 0.002 (1), 0.004 (1) and 0.005 (1) Å for B] and the pendant 4-fluoro­phenyl and 4-methyl­phenyl rings are 39.48 (4) and 30.86 (5)°, respectively, for mol­ecule A, and 33.34 (6) and 20.99 (8)° for B. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H⋯F and C—H⋯π inter­actions, resulting in a three-dimensional network.
