Abstract
In the title compound, C15H11FO2S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methylsulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment. The 2-phenyl ring is rotated out of the benzofuran plane, making a dihedral angle of 32.1 (2)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by aromatic π–π interactions between the benzene rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.690 (5) Å]. In addition, the crystal structure exhibits intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F interactions.
