In the title compound, C18H20O4, both the tetrahydropyranone ring and the cyclohexene ring adopt envelope conformations. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular C-H...O hydrogen bonding.

Related literature

The title compound is a derivative of 1-oxo-hexahydro-1H-isochromene, which has been reported as a key intermediate towards the total syntheses of natural products such as eleutherobin and tetronothiodin, see: Kim et al. (2000[Kim, P., Nantz, M. H., Kurth, M. J. & Olmstead, M. M. (2000). Org. Lett. 2, 1831-1834.]); Jung et al. (2000[Jung, M. E., Huang, A. & Johnson, T. W. (2000). Org.
