Abstract
In the title compound, C8H12O3, the methylene function of glycolic acid is incorporated in the sterically demanding lipophilic norbornane backbone. Pairs of longer intermolecular hydroxyl OH⋯carboxyl O hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of centrosymmetric dimers. The dimers are connected to form sheets parallel to the bc plane by shorter carboxyl OH⋯hydroxyl O bonds. Hydrophobic contacts connect the hydrogen-bonded sheets.
