The 1,2,4-triazine ring in the title compound, C(14)H(15)N(3)O(3), is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.019 Å); the C atom at the 6-position deviates by 0.026 (2) Å from the mean plane whereas the C atom at the 2-position deviates by 0.166 (4) Å in the opposite direction. The triazine ring is oriented at 8.60 (13)° with respect to the phenyl ring. The imino group is hydrogen-bond donor to the exocyclic O atom at the 3-position of an adjacent mol-ecule, the hydrogen bond generating an inversion dimer.
