Analogues of anacardic acids: 6-(cyclohexylmethyl)salicylic acid and 6-(2-cyclohexylethyl)salicylic acid

The title compounds, C₁₄H₁₈O₃, (1), and C₁₅H₂₀O₃, (2), are in monoclinic space groups C2/c and P2₁/c, respectively. The cyclohexane ring adopts a chair conformation in both cases. The plane of the central four atoms makes an angle of 87.1(1)° with the phenyl ring in (1) and and angle of 51.3(1)° in (2). Both structures have an intra- and an intermolecular hydrogen bond.
