In the title compound, C13H13N3O3, the pyrazolidine ring adopts a shallow envelope conformation, with the carbonyl C atom closest to the benzene ring as the flap [deviation of 0.126 (1) angstrom from the plane through the remaining atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.011 angstrom)]. The dihedral angle between the pyrazolidine ring (all atoms) and the benzene ring is 51.09 (4)degrees. An extremely short (2.08 angstrom) intramolecular CH center dot center dot center dot O contact is seen. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C-H center dot center dot center dot O bonds, generating [010] chains. Extremely weak C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions are also observed.
