Abstract: The title compound, C₁₃H₁₆O₄, appears as an intermediate in the synthetic pathway of furosesquiterpenes. The crystal structure is dictated by the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding. It is noticeable that there are rather similar C-O distances in the carboxyl group [(1.2454(14) and 1.2835  (14)  Å]. In the solid state, the molecules interact in pairs, forming discrete dimers as part of a three-dimensional network.
