cis-2-(4-Meth­oxy­phen­yl)-4-methyl-1,2-di­hydro­naphthalen-1-ol

The stereochemistry and regiochemistry of the title compound, C₁₈H₁₈O₂, were determined by the X-ray analysis. There are two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit in which the dihedral angles between the benzene rings are 88.31 (4) and 86.27 (4)°. The cyclo­hexene rings are in half-chair conformations. In the crystal, O—H...O hydrogen bonds link alternating types of mol­ecules into chains along [010] with graph-set C₂²(4).
