3-Methylbutyl 2-(5-iodo-3-methylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate

In the title molecule, C16H19IO4S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methylsulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment. In the crystal, pairs of molecules are linked by I center dot center dot center dot O [3.114 (3) angstrom] halogen bonding into centrosymmetric dimers. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O nonclassical hydrogen bonds.
