2-(4-Fluoro-phen-yl)-5-iodo-7-methyl-3-methyl-sulfinyl-1-benzofuran
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(16)H(12)FIO(2)S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methyl-sulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane through the benzofuran fragment. The 4-fluoro-phenyl ring is rotated slightly out of the benzofuran plane, as indicated by the dihedral angle of 7.43 (6)°. In the crystal structure, pairs of short I⋯O [3.074 (2) Å] contacts link the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers. These dimers are further linked via aromatic π-π inter-actions between the benzene and the 4-fluoro-phenyl rings of neighbouring mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.617 (3) Å].

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
