Crystal structure of (±)-(4RS,5RS,7SR)-4-[(1RS,2RS,3RS,6RS)-3-benzoyloxy-2-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-6-methoxymethoxy-2-methylcyclohexyl]-8,10,10-trimethyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-8-en-7-yl benzoate benzene monosolvate

In the title compound, C₃₆H₄₄O₁₀·C₆H₆, the dioxolane ring adopts an envelope conformation with the C atom bonded to the H atom as the flap, while the cyclohexene and cyclohexane rings are in half-chair and chair conformations, respectively. In the crystal, a pair of O - H⋯O hydrogen bonds with an R₂²(26) graph-set motif connect the benzoate molecules into an inversion dimer. The dimers are linked by a weak C - H⋯O interaction into a tape structure along [011¯]. The benzene molecule links the tapes through C - H⋯O and C - H⋯π interactions, forming a sheet parallel to (100).
