Abstract: In the title compound, C₂₁H₂₁FO₂S, the cyclohexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. The 4-fluorophenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 83.55 (4)° with the mean plane of the benzofuran fragment. In the crystal, molecules are linked through weak intermolecular C-HO and C-H [pi] interactions. The crystal structure also exhibits aromatic [pi] - [pi] interactions between the furan rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.541 (2) Å].
