In the title compound, C18H21NO5, the dihydropyridine ring adopts a flattened-boat conformation and its planar part forms a dihedral angle of 84.60 (2)° with the benzene ring. In the crystal, intermolecular N-H...O and C-H...O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of zigzag layers parallel to (001). These layers are interconnected via C-H...[pi] interactions.
