3-Cyclo-hexyl-sulfinyl-5-iodo-2-methyl-1-benzofuran
Abstract:
There are two independent mol-ecules, A and B, in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(15)H(17)ClO(2)S, in each of which the cyclo-hexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. The benzofuran units in each mol-ecule are essentially planar, with mean deviations from a least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent ring atoms of 0.006 (2) Å for A and 0.011 (2) Å for B. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions and by two I⋯O contacts [I⋯O = 3.079 (2) and 3.017 (2) 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...

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
