Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₀H₁₀N₂O₃, the dihedral angle between the benzene and imidazolidine rings is 6.0 (4)°, consistent with an essentially planar molecule. In the crystal, intermolecular N-HO hydrogen bonding between centrosymmetrically related molecules leads to loosely associated dimeric aggregates. These are connected into a three-dimensional network by C-HO interactions, as well as - interactions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.705 (3) and 3.622 (3) Å] between the imidazolidine and benzene rings.
