In the title compound, C8H15N3O4, the 2-(nitromethylene)imidazolidine fragment is close to being planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.027 Å), which may be correlated with delocalization of the electrons and the effect of the strongly electron-withdrawing NO2 group. An intramolecular N—H...O link generates an S(6) ring. The same H atom also forms a weak intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond, which results in C(7) chains propagating in [010].
