Abstract: The molecule of the title compound, C₁₆H₁₆N₂O₄, exists in the E configuration with respect to the central C=N double bond. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 2.17 (9) Å. In the crystal, molecules are linked via O-HN hydrogen bonds into chains that propagate along the b-axis direction. There is also - stacking of inversion-related molecules, with interplanar spacings of 3.479 (5) Å and ring centroid-centroid distances of 3.876 (4) Å.
