Abstract

The non-H atoms in the title compound, C14H19NO3, lie on a mirror plane. The amide O and ester carbonyl O atoms are trans to each other. Furthermore, the C=O and O—CH2 bonds of the ester group are syn with respect to each other. In the crystal, mol­ecules are packed into centrosymmetric dimers through inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
