5-Bromo-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-phenylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran

In the title compound, C20H12BrFO2S, the 4-fluorophenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 2.63 (6)degrees with the mean plane of the benzofuran fragment. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the mean plane of the benzofuran fragment is 84.60 (6)degrees. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds, and slipped pi-pi interactions between the benzene rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.719 (3) angstrom, interplanar distance = 3.000 (3) angstrom and slippage = 1.520 (3) angstrom].
