Abstract: The chiral title compound, C₁₅H₂₂O₅, is an intermediate in the total synthesis of biologically active 9,11-secosterols. In the crystal, the cyclohexane rings are trans-fused and both adopt chair conformations. In the crystal, molecules are loosely held together in a layer parallel to (100) by weak intermolcular C-HO hydrogen bonds accepted by carbonyl O atoms of the acetyl groups.
