5-Iodo-7-methyl-3-methyl-sulfinyl-2-phenyl-1-benzofuran.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(16)H(13)IO(2)S, was prepared by the oxidation of 5-iodo-7-methyl-3-methyl-sulfanyl-2-phenyl-1-benzofuran with 3-chloro-peroxy-benzoic acid. The phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 27.17 (9)° with the plane of the benzofuran fragment, with the O atom and the methyl group of the methyl-sulfinyl substituent lying on opposite sides of this plane. The crystal structure exhibits inter-molecular C-H⋯I inter-actions, and an I⋯O halogen bond of 3.107 (2) Å with a nearly linear C-I⋯O angle of 173.73 (6)°.
