Abstract

In the title compound, C18H21NO3, the oxazolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation with the N atom at the flap position. The two benzene rings make dihedral angles of 74.27 (14) and 73.26 (15)° with the mean plane through the oxazolidine ring. In the crystal structure, O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect adjacent mol­ecules into chains along [010] incorporating R22(8) loops and further stabilization is provided by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­actions.
