The title compound, C17H18N2O3, is approximately planar, owing in part to an intramolecular bifurcated O-H...(N,O) hydrogen bond; the dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 23.86 (9)°. In the crystal struture, centrosymmetrically related molecules associate into dimers via the eight-membered carboxylate {...H-O-C=O}2 synthon.
