✦ Synopsis


Molecules of the title compound, (+)-(1R,4R)-3-benzoyl-1,7,7trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one, C 17 H 20 O 2 , crystallize in the diketo form. One of the carbonyl groups is involved in a weak intramolecular C-HÁ Á ÁO interaction [CÁ Á ÁO = 2.778 (3) A ˚]. 3-Benzoylcamphor is a rare example of a structurally characterized -diketone that crystallizes both in the diketo and the enol forms. According to density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the diketo tautomer is destabilized by 17.4 kJ mol À1 over the previously reported [Niemeyer & Gan (2005). Acta Cryst. E61, o2363-o2365] enol form.
