title: (2SR,4aSR,8aSR)-6-Oxoperhydro-naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid.
abstract: In the title racemic compound, C(11)H(16)O(3), the mol-ecule adopts a conformation that places its carboxyl group in an equatorial position. Mol-ecules aggregate by hydrogen-bond pairing of carboxyl groups, yielding centrosymmetric dimers that are arranged into layers in the (020) planes.
