Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₈H₁₅NO₅, the methoxycarbonyl substituent, disregarding H atoms, is almost coplanar with the indolizine ring system in each of the two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal structure, symmetry-related molecules form molecular dimers, held together by two C-HO hydrogen bonds, and are interconnected into a three-dimensional network by another C-HO hydrogen bond.
