In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked through weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure also exhibits an inter-molecular I⋯F contact [3.423 (2) Å].

In the title compound, C17H15BrO3S, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzo-furan and 3-methyl-phenyl rings is 77.37 (5)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via pairs of Br⋯O [Br⋯O = 3.335 (2) Å] contacts into inversion dimers. These dimers are further linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π inter-actions between the benzene and furan rings of neighbouring mol-ecules [centroi...

In the title compound, C(11)H(11)BrO(2)S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methyl-sulfinyl substituent are located on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment. The crystal structure is stabilized by non-classical inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding, and by inter-molecular C-Br⋯π inter-actions, with C-Br⋯Cg = 3.629 Å (Cg is the centroid of the benzene ring). In addition, t...

In the title compound, C17H15BrO3S, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzo-furan and 4-methyl-phenyl rings is 76.43 (5)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via pairs of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into inversion dimers that are further linked by Br⋯Br [3.6517 (4) Å] contacts about inversion centers into supra-molecular sheets that lie parallel to (111).

In the title compound, C(16)H(19)IO(3)S, the cyclo-hexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal, pairs of inter-molecular I⋯O contacts [3.269 (2) Å] link the mol-ecules into inversion dimers. These dimers are further stabilized by a slipped π-π inter-action between the benzene and furan rings of adjacent mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.701 (3) Å, inter-planar distance = 3.3...

Nocardia cultures, isolated from soil by use of n-paraffins as the sole carbon source, have been shown to bring about significant oxidation of several methyl-substituted mono- and dicyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Oxygen uptake by washed cell suspensions was not a reliable indicator of oxidation. Under co-oxidation conditions in shaken flasks, o- and p-xylenes were oxidized to their respective mo...

In the title compound, C(16)H(19)BrO(2)S, the cyclo-hexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by a Br⋯Br [3.5994 (5) Å] contact and a C-H⋯π inter-action involving the phenyl ring of the benzofuran. The crystal structure also exhibits a slipped π-π inter-action between the furan rings of neighbouring mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.767 (1) Å and int...

In the title compound, C(16)H(19)BrO(3)S, the cyclo-hexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked through weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and Br⋯O contacts [3.211 (1) Å].
