Crystal structure of 3-(2-bromo­phenyl­sulfon­yl)-2,5,7-trimethyl-1-benzo­furan

In the title compound, C(17)H(15)BrO(3)S, the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzo­furan ring system [r.m.s. deviation = 0.016 (2) Å] and the 2-bromo­phenyl ring is 82.93 (6)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via pairs of C—H⋯π hydrogen bonds and π–π inter­actions between the benzene and furan rings of neighbouring mol­ecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.881 (2) Å] into inversion-related dimers along the b-axis direction. These dimers are further linked by short Br⋯O [3.185 (2) Å] contacts.
