Formation of non-centrosymmetric dimers in (1S*,4aR*,8aR*)-decahydronaphthalene-1-carboxylic acid

M. Davison, R. A. Lalancette and H. W. Thompson

Abstract: The all-cis racemate of the title compound, C₁₁H₁₈O₂, crystallizes in the chair-chair conformation that places the carboxyl group in an equatorial postion. The space group is centrosymmetric but the compound aggregates as dimers whose components are related by a C₂ axis [OO = 2.665  (3)  Å and O-HO = 177°]. In the crystal structure, one C-HO=C close contact is found.
