Single-crystals of the layered copper hydroxide dodecylsulfate Cu2(OH)3(C12H25SO4) have been obtained for the first time, by controlled hydrolysis of an aqueous copper acetate solution. Interestingly this compound crystallizes in a non-centrosymmetric space group (P21, a = 5.591(10) Å, b = 6.108(11) Å, c = 26.96(5) Å,  =  = 90°,  = 92.76°), which is further confirmed by non-linear optical measurements. Within the course of the synthesis, a probable intermediate
