Abstract

In the title compound, C21H22O3S, the cyclo­hexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. The phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 78.07 (5)° with the mean plane of the benzofuran fragment. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked through weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­actions.
