title: 5-Bromo-2-methyl-3-phenyl-sulfonyl-1-benzofuran.
abstract: The title compound, C(15)H(11)BrO(3)S, was prepared by the oxidation of 5-bromo-2-methyl-3-phenyl-sulfanyl-1-benzofuran with 3-chloro-peroxy-benzoic acid. The phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 78.99 (8)° with the plane of the benzofuran fragment. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions between a benzene H atom of the benzofuran unit and the phenyl ring of the phenyl-sulfonyl substituent from a neighbouring mol-ecule. In addition, the crystal structure exhibits intra- and inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions.
