The 19H26O2, is solely generated by the presence of the double bond in the cyclohexene ring. This compound was synthesized to study the interaction of the two enantiomers in the solid state. The resultant racemate is made up of carboxylic acid RS dimers. Intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds produce centrosymmetric R22(8) rings which dimerize the two chiral enantiomers through their carboxyl groups.
of the title compound, CRelated literature
In similar compounds previously reported (Xie et al., 2002, 2007a), the racemates also consist of carboxylic acid RS dimers. For related literature, see: Xie et al. (2007b, 2004); Bernstein et al. (1995).

The title carboxylic acid was synthesized following a similar method previously reported by Xie et al., 2002. Purified compound was recrystallized from hexane-ethyl acetate as colorless crystals (m.p. 467–468 K).
The rotational orientations of the methyl H atoms were refined by the circular Fourier method available in SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 2008); the hydroxyl H atom position was determined in a similar manner. All H atoms were treated as riding with C/O—H distances ranging from 0.82 to 0.98 Å and Uiso(H) values equal to 1.5 (hydroxyl and methyl H atoms) or 1.2 times (all other H atoms) Ueq of the parent atom. The crystal diffracted poorly resulting in a relatively low accuracy refinement.

The title carboxylic acid, the structure of whose single enantiomer is unknown, was prepared to study the interaction of the two enantiomers in the solid state. We have previously reported the structure of its precursor, which is achiral and also forms hydrogen-bonded dimers (Xie et al., 2007b). The chirality of the title compound is solely generated by the presence of the double bond in the cyclohexene ring (Xie et al., 2004). The resultant racemate is made up of carboxylic acid RS dimers. The structure and atom numbering are shown in Fig. 1, which illustrates the half-chair conformation of the cyclohexene ring. The torsion angles involving atoms C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6 are all near 180°, as are those involving atoms C8, C2, C1, C6, and C9. The carboxyl group is almost perpendicular to the cyclohexene ring with an angle of 81.6 (5) ° between the O1—C7—O2 plane and the C1—C6 ring. The double bond between C3—C4 is not fully conjugated as shown by the C3—C4—C5 plane to benzene ring angle of 30.4 (5) °.
Fig. 2 shows the hydrogen bonding scheme and molecular packing. Atom O2 acts as a donor in an intermolecular hydrogen bond to atom O1. Inversion of this interaction across (1/2, 1/2, 1/2) produces an R22(8) ring (Bernstein et al., 1995), thus creating a hydrogen-bonded RS dimer. There is no evidence to suggest that weak directional interactions interconnect the dimers. Hydrogen bond geometry is given in Table 1.
