Abstract:
There are two symmetry-independent mol-ecules, A and B, in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(17)H(14)FIO(3)S. The dihedral angle formed by the 4-fluoro-phenyl ring and the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.013 (2) Å in mol-ecule A and 0.016 (2) Å in mol-ecule B] of the benzofuran fragment is 57.71 (7)° in mol-ecule A and 44.95 (7)° in mol-ecule B. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and I⋯O contacts [I⋯O = 3.3646 (15) and 3.2354 (14) Å], forming a three--dimensional network.

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...
