3-(4-Fluoro-phenyl-sulfon-yl)-5-iodo-2,7-dimethyl-1-benzofuran.

In the title compound, C(16)H(12)FIO(3)S, the 4-fluoro-phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 72.31 (6)° with the mean plane of the benzofuran fragment. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and by an I⋯I contact [3.7764 (3) Å]. The crystal structure also exhibits a weak C-I⋯π [3.901 (3) Å] inter-action and a slipped π-π inter-action between the furan and benzene rings of neighbouring mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.845 (3), inter-planar distance = 3.555 (3) and slippage = 1.465 (3) Å].
