Abstract
The title compound, systematic name 9-isopropylidene-2,6-dimethyl-11-oxatricyclo[6.2.1.01,5]undec-6-en-8-ol, C15H22O2, which crystallizes with two molecules of similar conformation in the asymmetric unit, features three fused rings, two of which are five-membered and the third six-membered. Of the two five-membered rings, the one with an O atom has a distinct envelope shape (with the O atom representing the flap). The six-membered ring is also envelope-shaped as it shares a common O atom with the five-membered ring. In the crystal, the two independent molecules are linked by a pair of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating a dimer.
