title: rac-4-(2-Meth-oxy-phen-yl)-2,6-dimethyl-cyclo-hex-3-ene-carb-oxy-lic acid.
abstract: The title compound, C(16)H(20)O(3), was synthesized to study the hydrogen-bonding inter-actions of the two enanti-omers in the solid state. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds produce centrosymmetric R(2) (2)(8) rings which dimerize the two chiral enanti-omers together through their carboxyl groups.
