A benzyl ester of mandelic acid, C 15 H 14 O 3 , was obtained by the crystallization of racemic mandelic acid from benzyl alcohol followed by vacuum drying at 363 K. The structure is composed of two hydrogen‐bonded chains of S or R configuration, running along the shortest crystallographic b axis. There is one molecule in the asymmetric unit and each molecule forms four intermolecular hydrogen bonds with two other molecules of the same chirality.
