title: 3-(4-Fluoro-phenyl-sulfin-yl)-5-iodo-2-methyl-1-benzofuran.
abstract: In the title compound, C(15)H(10)FIO(2)S, the O atom and the 4-fluoro-phenyl group of the 4-fluoro-phenyl-sulfinyl substituent are located on opposite sides of the plane through the benzofuran fragment; the 4-fluoro-phenyl ring is nearly perpendicular to this plane, making a dihedral angle of 83.37 (7)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and an I⋯O inter-action [I⋯O = 3.255 (2) Å]. The crystal structure also exhibits inter-molecular C-F⋯π inter-actions [3.068 (2) Å], and aromatic π-π inter-actions between the furan and benzene rings of neighbouring benzofuran fragments [centroid-centroid distance = 3.636 (2) Å].
