Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 298 K; mean (C-C) = 0.004 Å; R factor = 0.042; wR factor = 0.110; data-to-parameter ratio = 9.5.In the crystal structure of the title compound, C 18 H 17 N 3 O 4 , intramolecular C-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds cause the formation of two planar five-membered rings, which are also coplanar with the adjacent rings. The oxime units have E configurations and their bond lengths and angles compare well with those in related compounds. In this configuration, the oxime groups are involved as donors in O-HÁ Á ÁN hydrogen bonds, linking the molecules into chains extending approximately parallel to the c axis and stacked along the b axis.
