Both independent molecules in the asymmetric unit of the tautomeric title compound, C14H13NO3, a synthetic product obtained from 2-lithiomethylquinoline and diethyl oxalate, crystallize in the enaminone form with a Z configuration around the double bond. Intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur, generating an S(6) graph-set motif. In the crystal, weak intermolecular C—H⋯O and π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.7020 (14)–3.7429 (13)Å] define a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
