Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₁₃H₁₀N₂O₄, contains two crystallographically independent molecules. The aromatic rings are oriented at dihedral angles of 24.39 (3) and 7.47 (3)° in the two molecules and intramolecular N-HO and O-HO hydrogen bonds result in the formation of two planar six-membered rings. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O-HO and C-HO hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains, forming R₂²(10) ring motifs. Weak - contacts between the benzene and phenyl rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.955 (3) Å] may further stabilize the structure.
