title: 3-Ethyl-sulfinyl-2-(3-fluoro-phen-yl)-5-phenyl-1-benzo-furan.
abstract: In the title compound, C22H17FO2S, the dihedral angles between the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.005 (1) Å] of the benzo-furan ring system and the pendant 3-fluoro-phenyl and phenyl rings are 23.92 (5) and 32.44 (5)°, respectively. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by two weak C-H⋯O(sulfin-yl) hydrogen bonds and a C-H⋯π inter-action, forming a sheet, which lies in the ab plane. A π-π inter-action between the benzene and furan rings of neighbouring mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.976 (2) Å] links the mol-ecules into inversion dimers and connects adjacent sheets, resulting in a three-dimensional network.
