2-[3-Hydroxy-4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl]-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-imidazoline-1-oxyl 3-oxide

In the title compound, C15H21N2O5, the imidazoline ring displays a twisted conformation. The mean plane of the imidazoline ring makes a dihedral angle of 22.55 (5)° with the benzene ring. In the crystal, O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a layer parallel to the bc plane.
