In the title compound, C(15)H(24)O(2), a natural dialkyl-resorcinol commonly named stemphol, the mol-ecules are linked into C(6) and C(2) (2)(4) chains and R(4) (4)(16) rings by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, creating mol-ecular sheets parallel to the (010) plane. The alkyl chains are directed orthogonally away from these planes in almost complete extension.
