The title compound, C16H13NO6, exhibits a biphenyl unit with a dihedral angle between the two aryl rings of 56.01 (5)°. The two ester groups vary slightly from planarity, with aryl–ester dihedral angles of 4.57 (5) and 16.73 (5)°. The nitro group is turned from the aromatic unit with an aryl–nitro dihedral angle of 48.66 (4)°. In the crystal, molecules are connected by weak C—H...O interactions, forming a three-dimensional network.
