Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₅H₁₆N₂O₅, the dihedral angle between 1,3-diazinane and benzene rings is only 4.27 (1)°. The essentially planar molecular structure is characterized by a short intramolecular C-HO separation and by an exceptionally large bond angle of 138.25 (14)° at the bridging methine C atom. The methoxy groups deviate somewhat from the plane of the benzene ring, with C-C-O-C torsion angles of -15.6 (1) and 9.17 (6)°. In the crystal, molecules form centrosymmetric dimers via donor-acceptor - interactions, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.401 (1) Å.
