5-Chloro-2-phenyl-3-phenylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran

In the title compound, C20H13ClO2S, the O atom and the phenyl group of the phenylsulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment; the S-bound phenyl ring is nearly perpendicular to this plane [80.87 (5)°]. The phenyl ring in the 2-positio...

Description
Summary:In the title compound, C20H13ClO2S, the O atom and the phenyl group of the phenylsulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment; the S-bound phenyl ring is nearly perpendicular to this plane [80.87 (5)°]. The phenyl ring in the 2-position is rotated out of the benzofuran plane, making a dihedral angle of 17.43 (7)°. The crystal structure features π–π interactions between the phenyl ring and the furyl ring of a neighbouring benzofuran system [centroid–centroid distance = 3.886 (2) Å].
