Abstract: The title compound, C₂₀H₁₅N₃O₃, consists a phthalonitrile group and an isoindole-1,3-dione group connected by a flexible butoxy chain. The dihedral angle between these two groups is 70.47 (3)°. Partial face-to-face overlap between the phthalonitrile groups of centrosymmetrically related molecules is observed. In addition, the crystal packing is stabilized by C-HO hydrogen bonds.
