X.-F. Meng, D.-Y. Wang and J.-J. Ma

Abstract: The molecule of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₁N₃O₄, assumes an E conformation about the C=N double bond. The benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 3.9 (2)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by N-HO, O-HN, O-HO and C-HO hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to (101). In addition, intralayer - stacking interactions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.635 (2) Å] are observed.
