N-[2-(3,4-Di-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-2-(phenyl-sulfan-yl)eth-yl]-2-(2-fluoro-phen-yl)acetamide.

The title compound, C24H24FNO3S, is an inter-mediate in the synthesis of fluorine containing iso-quinoline alkaloids, which crystallizes in the triclinic space group P with one mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The structure presents a racemic mixture of enanti-omers. The C-S-C-C torsion angle between the benzene ring system and the sulfonyl benzene ring is -178.5 (1)°. In the crystal, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between neighbouring mol-ecules form chains of mol-ecules along the a-axis direction.
