5-Cyclohexyl-3-(2-fluorophenylsulfonyl)-2-methyl-1-benzofuran

In the title compound, C21H21FO3S, the cyclohexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzofuran ring system and the fluorophenyl ring is 87.61(3)°. In the crystal, molecules related by inversion are linked into dimers via pairs of C-H..π interactions. These dimers are further linked by π-π interactions between the furan rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.407(2)Å and between the 2-fluorophenyl rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.742(2)Å], resulting in a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
