The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C14H25NO3, contains two independent mol­ecules with similar geometry. The morpholine and cyclo­hexane rings of both mol­ecules adopt a chair conformation. Intra­molecular O-H...N hydrogen bonds are observed. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by O-H...O hydrogen bonds into chains parallel to the [101] direction. The chains are further connected through C-H...O hydrogen bonds forming undulating layers parallel to the (-101) plane. The absolute configuration was assigned by reference to an unchanging chiral centre in the synthetic procedure.
