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) Å, respectively, for mol-ecule A, and 0.002 (1), 0.004 (1) and 0.005 (1) Å 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.
