4-(3-Methoxyphenyl)-2,6-dimethylcyclohex-3-enecarboxylic acid
Abstract
The racemic title compound, C16H20O3, was synthesized to study the hydrogen-bonding interaction of the two enantiomers in the solid state. In the crystal structure, R and S pairs of the racemate are linked by pairs of intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds, producing centrosymmetric R22(8) rings.
