The title compound, C(16)H(16)N(2)O(6)·C(2)H(5)OH, was synthesized from 3,4,5-trihydroxy-benzoyl-hydrazide and 2,4-dimethoxy-benzaldehyde in ethanol. The compound is not planar, with the two aromatic planes of the two aromatic rings twisted by 15.6 (1)°. The hydr-oxy groups are involved in both intra-molecular O-H⋯O and inter-molecular O-H⋯N and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and a C-H⋯O interaction also occurs.
