The crystal of the title compound, C(13)H(12)N(2)O(6), contains a bifurcated intra-molecular hydrogen bond between the N-H group and one of the O atoms from both the nitro group and the dioxane-4,6-dione moiety. In addition, mol-ecules are linked by a series of inter-molecular C-H⋯O secondary inter-actions. The dihedral angles between the benzene ring and the nitro group and the conjugated part of the dioxane-4,6-dione moiety are 19.1 (2) and 17.89 (7)°, respectively.
