Abstract: The title molecule, C₂₂H₁₆N₂O₄, is a 2,2'-disubstituted biphenyl whose phenylene rings are rotated by 66.5 (1)° so as to avoid repulsion by the substituents. Only one of the two amide -NH- fragments engages in hydrogen bonding, and this interacts with the amido -C(=O)- acceptor of an inversion-related molecule to generate a hydrogen-bonded dimer.
