title: Propyl 2-(5-bromo-3-methyl-sulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate.
abstract: In the title compound, C(14)H(15)BrO(4)S, the S atom has a distorted trigonal-pyramidal coordination. The O atom and the methyl group of the methyl-sulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment. The mol-ecules form slightly slipped π-stacked inversion-symmetric dimers by inter-molecular aromatic π-π inter-actions, with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.695 (4) Å between the benzene rings of neighbouring mol-ecules. The crystal packing is further stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions between the methyl-ene H atoms of the propyl group towards the benzene and furan rings of neighbouring mol-ecules, respectively. Additionally, the crystal structure exhibits weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
