The crystal structure of 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione, C8H12O2, was determined at 133 K. The cyclohexene ring exhibits an envelope conformation. The molecular geometry and the crystal packing - which is stabilized by a hydrogen bond - agree well with the two room-temperature structure determinations.
