title: Crystal structure of 3-(2-bromo-phenyl-sulfon-yl)-2,5,7-trimethyl-1-benzo-furan.
abstract: In the title compound, C17H15BrO3S, the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzo-furan ring system [r.m.s. deviation = 0.016 (2) Å] and the 2-bromo-phenyl ring is 82.93 (6)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via pairs of C-H⋯π hydrogen bonds and π-π inter-actions between the benzene and furan rings of neighbouring mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.881 (2) Å] into inversion-related dimers along the b-axis direction. These dimers are further linked by short Br⋯O [3.185 (2) Å] contacts.
