The title compound, C25H29ClO4, adopts a trans conformation about the C=C double bond and the di-methyl-cyclo-hexenone rings both show an envelope conformation with the dimethyl-substituted C atom as the flap. In the mol-ecule, the hy-droxy and carbonyl groups form two intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds typical for xanthene derivatives. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains running parallel to the a-axis direction.
