Abstrakt: In the crystal structure of the title compound, C16H32O2, the mol­ecules are arranged into dimers through O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These dimers are packed in bilayers with terminal methyl groups at both external faces, and these layers are parallel to the crystallographic (100) plane. All C—C bonds of the alkyl chain show an anti­periplanar ( trans) conformation, with slight deviations from the ideal value in the C—C bonds close to the inter­molecular hydrogen bonds. The similarity between the carb­oxyl C—O bond distances is consistent with the existence of cis– trans tautomerism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
