4-Oxocyclohexaneacetic acid: catemeric hydrogen bonding and spontaneous resolution of a single conformational enantiomer in an achiral ∊-keto acid

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C8H12O3, consists of a single conformational enantiomer, which aggregates in the catemeric acid-to-ketone hydrogen-bonding mode [O...O = 2.682 (4) Å and O—H...O = 172 (6)°]. F...
