Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C13H11NO6, contains two mol-ecules in both of which the six-membered 1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione ring shows a screw-boat conformation. The dihedral angles between the best planes through the six-membered rings are 47.8 (2) and 49.8 (2)°. In the crystal, C-H⋯O inter-actions link the mol-ecules, building a supramolecular sheet parallel to the c axis.
