Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₅H₁₇NO₃, there are two molecules in the asymmetric unit wherein the isoxazole rings make dihedral angles of 16.16 (15) and 16.79 (13)° with the benzene rings, and the cyclohexane rings adopt chair conformations. In both molecules, the hydroxyl groups of the diol fragments are cis oriented, the O-C-C-O torsion angles being 60.76 (12) and -55.86 (11)°. The two molecules are linked by a strong O-HN hydrogen bond and the crystal packing is stabilized by one O-HN and two O-HO hydrogen bonds. An intramolecular O-HO hydrogen bond is observed in one of the molecules.
