The title compound, C30H29N3O3.H2O, is the final product in the Diels-Alder reaction between a 2-alkoxydiene and a reactive dienophile such as phenyltriazolinedione after recrystallization in methanol. The water molecule forms a hydrogen bond with a carbonyl oxygen atom in one dione molecule and a weaker interaction with an nitrogen atom in a symmetry related molecule forming dimers linked by the water molecule. Atoms in the five-membered ring stemming from the dienophile molecule are related by a non-crystallographic C2 axis through an N atom.
