The title compound, C15H20O4, was synthesized from 9[alpha]-hydroxyparthenolide (9[alpha]-hydroxy-4,8-dimethyl-12-methylene-3,14-dioxatricyclo[9.3.0.02,4]tetradec-7-en-13-one), which was isolated from the chloroform extract of the aerial parts of Anvillea radiata. The seven-membered ring has a chair conformation, while the five-membered rings display twisted conformations. The dihedral angle between the seven-membered ring and the lactone ring is 21.69 (10)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked into chains propagating along the c axis by intermolecular O-H...O hydrogen bonds; an intramolecular O-H...O link also occurs.
