Abstract

In the title compound, C 15H 17NO 3, there are two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit wherein the isoxazole rings make dihedral angles of 16.16 (15) and 16.79 (13)° with the benzene rings, and the cyclo-hexane rings adopt chair conformations. In both mol-ecules, the hydroxyl groups of the diol fragments are cis oriented, the O - C - C - O torsion angles being 60.76 (12) and -55.86 (11)°. The two mol-ecules are linked by a strong O - H?N hydrogen bond and the crystal packing is stabilized by one O - H?N and two O - H?O hydrogen bonds. An intra-molecular O - H?O hydrogen bond is observed in one of the molecules.
