Abstract: The structure of the title compound, C₁₆H₁₄N₂O₂, contains a seven-membered ring that adopts a boat conformation, and the overall molecular shape is that of a butterfly. In the packing, the molecules form a convoluted hydrogen-bonded polymer via a typical R₂²(8) graph-set dimer, between carboxamide groups, and an R₂²(16) graph-set dimer formed through an interaction between the second carboxamide NH group and an adjacent methoxy O atom (in each molecule). The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 56.09 (5)°.
