title: 3-Hydr-oxy-5,5-dimethyl-2-(2-oxo-propyl)cyclo-hex-2-enone.
abstract: The title compound, C(11)H(16)O(3), was obtained by reaction of dimedone, 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione, and α-chloro-acetone. The cyclo-hexenone ring exhibits an envelope conformation with puckering amplitudes Q = 0.433 (2) and Φ = -109.0 (3)°. The 2-oxopropyl fragment is almost perpendicular to the cyclo-hexa-none ring [dihedral angle = 77.72 (8)°]. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked to each other through O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding, building a chain parallel to the b axis.
