Crystal structure of (±)-(4RS,5RS,7SR)-4-[(1RS,2RS,3RS,6RS)-3-benzo-yloxy-2-(2-hy-droxy-ethyl)-6-meth-oxy-meth-oxy-2-methyl-cyclo-hex-yl]-8,10,10-trimethyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxa-spiro-[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 [01-1]. The benzene mol­ecule links the tapes through C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming a sheet parallel to (100).
