Abstract: In the molecule of the title compound, C₁₉H₁₇NO₈, the benzodioxole unit is oriented at a dihedral angle of 61.45 (6)° with respect to the methoxy-substituted phenyl ring. The nitro group is not co-planar to the benzene ring to which it is attached, making a dihedral angle of 31.86 (17)°. In the crystal structure, intermolecular C-HO interactions link the molecules into chains through R²₂(8) ring motifs. The contacts between the benzodioxole rings, [centroid-centroid distances = 3.7610 (9), 3.6613 (9) and 3.7975 (9) Å] may further stabilize the structure.
