Abstract:
In the title compound, C(16)H(12)FIO(2)S, the 3-fluoro-phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 76.47 (6)° with the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.013 (2) Å] of the benzofuran fragment. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds,forming chains along the b-axis direction, and an I⋯O contact [3.204 (2) Å]. The crystal structure also exhibits slipped π-π inter-actions between the 3-fluoro-phenyl rings of neighbouring mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.683 (3) Å and slippage = 1.708 (3) Å].

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...
