Abstract: | The ring system of the title compound, C13H18O3, was synthesized by addition of ethyl acrylate to the dienamine of 2‐octalone. The keto acid aggregates in the solid as acid‐to‐acid dimers O?O = 2.663 (2) Å and O—H?O = 170 (3)°] whose centrosymmetric hydrogen bonds lie across the a edges and the center of the chosen cell. Three intermolecular C—H?O close contacts within 2.7 Å were found involving the ketone group. |
