(1999). Acta Cryst. C55, IUC9900087]. The asymmetric unit contains four independent molecules with Ccage¨CCcage distances of 1.636 (16)¨C1.700 (16) , and with the methylhydroxy groups disordered over two positions in each molecule [occupancy ratios 0.80 (2):0.20 (2), 0.59 (3):0.41 (3), 0.60 (2):0.40 (2) and 0.793 (17):0.207 (17)]. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536809051903
