The title compound, C18H15NO3, consists of an indolizine ring system and an aromatic ring. The two ring systems are not coplanar, the dihedral angle between the two being 54.26 (7)°. In the crystal, inversion dimers are formed by weak C—H...O interactions. These dimeric groups are further extended to form a regular two-dimensional structure by additional weak C—H...O interactions.
