5-Bromo-3-ethyl-sulfinyl-2-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-1-benzo-furan

In the title compound, C17H15BrO2S, the dihedral angle between the plane of the benzo-furan ring system [r.m.s. deviation = 0.004 (3) Å] and that of the 4-methyl-phenyl ring is 0.9 (2)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O, C-H⋯π and Br⋯π [3.636 (2) Å] inter-actions, and by π-π inter-actions between the 4-methyl-phenyl and furan rings of neighbouring mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.650 (2) Å], forming a three-dimensional network.
