Abstract

The molecules of the title compound, C<inf>21</inf>H<inf>20</inf>N <inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>, are linked by O - H⋯O and C - H⋯N hydrogen bonds, and by π-π interactions. The cyclobutane ring is puckered, with a dihedral angle of 11.55 (3)° between the two planes. The phenyl ring shows positional disorder. © 2004 International Union of Crystallography Printed in Great Britain - all rights reserved.
