The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C26H23FO2S, contains two independent molecules (A and B), in both of which the cyclohexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. The benzofuran ring systems, the 4-fluorophenyl and phenyl rings are essentially planar, with r.m.s. deviations of 0.008 (1), 0.002 (1) and 0.003 (1) Å, respectively, for molecule A, and 0.016 (1), 0.004 (1) and 0.002 (1) Å, respectively, for molecule B. The dihedral angles between the benzofuran ring system and the pendant 4-fluorophenyl and phenyl rings are 12.3 (7) and 85.42 (4)°, respectively, for molecule A, and 39.67 (6) and 72.17 (4)°, respectively, for molecule B. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—H...O and C—H...π interactions, resulting in a three-dimensional network.
