5-Bromo-2,4,6-trimethyl-3-methylsulfinyl-1-benzofuran

In the title compound, C12H13BrO2S, there are two symmetry-independent mol­ecules, A and B, in the asymmetric unit. The crystal studied was an inversion twin with a 0.70 (2):0.30 (2) domain ratio. The methyl­sulfinyl group in mol­ecule B is disordered over two positions with site-occupancy factors fixed at 0.6 and 0.4. The crystal structure is stabilized by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­actions. In addition, the crystal structure exhibits C—Br⋯π inter­actions, with C—Br⋯Cg1 = 3.646 (8) Å where Cg1 is the centroid of the furan ring.
