5-Chloro-3-(4-fluoro­phenyl­sulfon­yl)-2,7-dimethyl-1-benzo­furan

In the title compound, C(16)H(12)ClFO(3)S, the dihedral angle between the plane of the benzo­furan ring system [r.m.s. deviation = 0.007 (1) Å] and that of the 4-fluoro­phenyl ring is 76.11 (5)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into [010] chains via two different inversion-generated pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure also exhibits weak π–π inter­actions between the benzene and furan rings of neighbouring mol­ecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.820 (2) Å].
