✦ Synopsis
The title compound, C~17~H~13~BrO~3~S, was prepared by alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl 2-[5-(4-bromophenyl)-3-methylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl]acetate. There are two symmetry-independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The 4-bromophenyl rings are rotated out of the benzofuran planes, with dihedral angles for the two molecules of 50.22 (8) and 35.4 (1)°. The methyl groups of the methylsulfanyl substituent are almost perpendicular to the plane of the benzofuran fragment [99.5 (2) and 100.8 (2)°] and are slightly tilted towards it. The crystal structure is stabilized by a C—H...O hydrogen bond and a Br...O halogen bond [Br...O = 3.284 (2) Å], and by inversion-related intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds between the carboxyl groups from two symmetry-independent molecules.
