© 2019 The Author(s) A method of 4-fluoro-3-(morpholinosulfonyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate synthesis has been developed and the electronic and spatial structure of a new biologically active molecule has been studied both theoretically and experimentally. The title compound was crystallized from acetonitrile and the single crystal X-ray analysis has revealed that it exists in a monoclinic P21/c space group, with one molecule in the asymmetric part of the unit cell. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to study intermolecular interactions in the crystal. Molecular docking study evaluates the investigated compound as a new potential inhibitor of hepatitis B. Testing for anti-hepatitis B virus activity has shown that this substance demonstrates in vitro nanomolar inhibitory activity against HBV.
