The title compound, C(15)H(22)N(2)O(3), has been isolated as a by-product of an oxidative cleavage of the C-C bond linking two five-membered rings of 1,3-dicyclo-hexyl-5-(3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-benzofuran-2-yl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione. Individual mol-ecular units are engaged in weak C=O⋯C=O inter-actions [O⋯C = 2.814 (10) and 2.871 (11) Å], leading to the formation of supra-molecular chains which close pack, mediated by van der Waals contacts, in the bc plane.
