In the title compound, C(14)H(15)NO(3), the ester group is oriented so that the carbonyl group points in the opposite direction to the hy-droxy group. The mol-ecule as a whole is almost planar (the r.m.s. deviation of the non-H atoms is 0.0268 Å). In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into infinite chains that propagate parallel to the c axis.
