In the title mol-ecule, C(12)H(15)NO(5), the nitro-phen-oxy portion is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.034 Å) and makes an angle of 84.8 (1)° with respect to the -CH(2)-C(=O)-O-C fragment. In the crystal, π-π stacking is observed between nearly parallel benzene rings of adjacent mol-ecules, the centroid-centroid distance being 3.6806 (10) Å. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
