The title compound, C20H26N2O5, was prepared in good yield (76%) through condensation of diethyl (4-methoxybenzyl)propanedioate with 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole. The dihedral between the benzene and pyrazole rings is 83.96 (10)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by a C-H...O interaction, which links the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers.
