In the title compound, C20H27N5O3, the central piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation, with the N-bound carboxylate and methylene substituents occupying bisectional and equatorial orientations, respectively. A twist is evident between the aromatic rings [dihedral angle = 25.61 (9)°] but an intramolecular O—HN hydrogen bond persists between these. Supramolecular tapes along [1-10] are formed in the crystal packing through N(amino)—HO(hydroxyl) and N(amino)—HN(pyrimidinyl) hydrogen bonds, and these are linked into layers in the ab plane by π–π interactions [inter-centroid distance between pyrimidinyl rings = 3.5919 (9) Å].
