Propyl 2-(5-iodo-3-methyl-sulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate.

In the title compound, C(14)H(15)IO(4)S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methyl-sulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran ring system. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions between an H atom of the propyl methyl-ene group closest to the carboxyl-ate O atom and the benzene ring of a neighbouring mol-ecule, and between an H atom of the outer propyl methyl-ene group and the furan ring of a neighbouring mol-ecule, respectively. Additionally, the crystal structure exhibits inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
