In the title compound, C(18)H(21)BrN(2)O(5), conjugation between the π-donating N-C-O fragment and the π-withdrawing carbonyl group results in considerable redistribution of the electron density within the dihydropyridinol ring. This effect is also promoted by the formation of an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. The five-membered heterocycle is disordered over two envelope conformations in a 0.35:0.65 ratio.
