1-[(2R,4aR,8R,8aR)-8-Hydroxy-4a,8-dimethylperhydronaphthalen-2-yl]ethan-1-one

Abstract

The title compound, C14H24O2, was synthesized from ilicic acid, which was isolated from the aerial part of Inula Viscosa­ (L) Aiton [or Dittrichia Viscosa­ (L) Greuter]. The mol­ecule contains two fused six-membered rings, which both display a chair conformation. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into chains propagating along the b axis by inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
