title: rac-8a'-Methyl-3',4',8',8a'-tetra-hydro-2'H-spiro-[[1,3]dioxolane-2,1'-naphthalen]-6'(7'H)-one.
abstract: The title racemic compound, C(13)H(18)O(3), a common precursor in the total synthesis of terpenes, crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The crystal structure is made up of triple chains, formed by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O contacts, propagating in the a-axis direction.
