The five-membered ring of the title compound, C19H18N2O4, adopts an envelope conformation. In the crystal, pairwise N—H...O hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric dimers which are connected into chains parallel to the c-axis direction by pairwise C—H...O hydrogen bonds. A second set of C—H...O hydrogen bonds links these chains into sheets oriented parallel to (100). A combination of additional C—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...π(ring) interactions combine the sheets into a three-dimensional network.
