Abstract: The title compound, C₁₈H₂₅ClO₂, is an intermediate for the chiral auxiliary (-)-8-phenylmenthol en route from (R)-(+)-pulegone. Its crystal structure was determined in order to relate the stereochemistry of the compound to that of other 8-arylmenthol esters. The compound crystallizes with an unusually elongated unit cell, c:a = 42.287:8.8672.
