The crystal structure of the title cage hydroxy acid, C 8 H 12 O 3 , has confirmed the exo configuration for both the carboxylic acid and hydroxy substituents, as previously determined from chemical and 13 C NMR evidence. Both the carboxylic acid and the hydroxy O atoms are involved in intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding interactions, giving a centrosymmetric 12‐membered cyclic ring system which extends via hydrogen bonding into an infinite two‐dimensional network.
