5-Bromo-2,4,6-trimethyl-3-(3-methyl­phenyl­sulfin­yl)-1-benzo­furan

In the title compound, C(18)H(17)BrO(2)S, the dihedral angle between the mean plane of the benzo­furan ring system and the benzene ring is 68.58 (4)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into inversion dimers. These dimers are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π inter­actions between the benzene rings of neighbouring mol­ecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.783 (1) Å], forming a three-dimensional network. In addition, the stacked mol­ecules exhibit inversion-related S⋯O contacts [3.153 (1) Å] involving the sulfinyl groups.
