The title compound, C18H17NO5, was prepared by a synthetic strategy based on the Heck reaction from Morita–Baylis–Hillman adducts. The five-membered ring adopts a slightly twisted conformation on the Ca—Cm (a = aromatic and m = methylene) bond. The dihedral angle between the five-membered ring and the spiro aromatic ring is 89.35 (7)°; that between the five-membered ring and the 4-methoxybenzene ring is 4.65 (7)°. Two short intramolecular C—HO contacts occur. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—HO hydrogen bonds to generate a three-dimensional network.
