Experimental Crystal data

R factor = 0.025; wR factor = 0.066; data-to-parameter ratio = 20.0. In the title compound, C16H13BrO2S, the dihedral angle between the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.012 (1) Å] of the benzofuran ring system and the 3-methylphenyl ring is 84.83 (4). In the crystal, molecules are linked via pairs of Br O [3.240 (1) Å] contacts, forming inversion dimers. These dimers are linked by C—H interactions, forming a three-dimensional network.
