In the title compound, C17H14N4O7S, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 9.04 (15)°. The centroid-centroid distance of 3.9825 (19) Å between nearly parallel benzene rings of adjacent molecules suggests the existence of [pi]-[pi] stacking. Intermolecular and intra-molecular N-H...O hydrogen bonding is present in the structure. The ethoxy group is disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.580 (15):0.420 (15). The crystal studied was an inversion twin.
