The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(14)H(13)NO(3), contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules, in which the aromatic rings are oriented at dihedral angles of 75.64 (3) and 83.14 (3)°. An N-H⋯O hydrogen bond links the two mol-ecules. Weak intramolecular C-H⋯O inter-actions are observed in the two mol-ecules. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O inter-actions link the mol-ecules into a two-dimensional network.
