In the title molecule, C17H15BrN4O2, the fused-ring system is essentially planar, the largest deviation from the mean plane being 0.015 (2) Å, and forms dihedral angles of 37.8 (2) and 35.5 (2)° with the phenyl and oxazolidine rings, respectively. The conformation adopted by the molecule is stabilized by an intramolecular ![[pi]](/logos/entities/pi_rmgif.gif)

interaction [centroid-centroid distance = 3.855(2) Å] between oxazolidine and phenyl rings. The crystal packing features intermolecular C-H
N and C-H
O interactions.
