5-Bromo-2,7-dimethyl-3-(3-methyl-phenyl-sulfon-yl)-1-benzo-furan

In the title compound, C17H15BrO3S, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzo-furan and 3-methyl-phenyl rings is 77.37 (5)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via pairs of Br⋯O [Br⋯O = 3.335 (2) Å] contacts into inversion dimers. These dimers are further linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π inter-actions between the benzene and furan rings of neighbouring mol-ecules [centroid-centroid separation = 3.884 (3) Å] into supra-molecular chains running along the a-axis direction.
