In the title mol-ecule, C(11)H(12)N(2)O(4), the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and imidazolidine ring is 7.1 (5)°. In the crystal structure, the hy-droxy groups are involved in the formation of inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which link the mol-ecules related by translation into C(2) chains along the b axis.
