title: (±)-2,2-Dimethyl-5-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylic acid (terebic acid): a racemic layered structure.
abstract: A racemic crystalline form of terebic acid, C(7)H(10)O(4), which is an important industrial chemical compound, is reported for the first time. The crystal structure is stabilized by O-H···O and C-H···O hydrogen bonds which form racemic double layers parallel to (001).
