5-(4-Fluoro-phen-yl)-2-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-3-methyl-sulfanyl-1-benzo-furan.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C22H17FOS, contains two independent mol-ecules (A and B). The dihedral angles between the benzo-furan ring systems [r.m.s. deviations of 0.026†(1), 0.004†(1) and 0.003†(1)†à , respectively, for mol-ecule A, and 0.002†(1), 0.004†(1) and 0.005†(1)†à for B] and the pendant 4-fluoro-phenyl and 4-methyl-phenyl rings are 39.48†(4) and 30.86†(5)°, respectively, for mol-ecule A, and 33.34†(6) and 20.99†(8)° for B. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯F and C-H⋯π inter-actions, resulting in a three-dimensional network.
