Abstract: The title racemate, C₁₁H₁₄O₃, aggregates in the crystal structure as acid-to-ketone O-HO hydrogen-bonding catemers whose components are glide-related. The relative stereochemistry at the carboxyl group arises spontaneously during the synthesis. Two intermolecular C-HO=C close contacts were found, both involving the acid group.
