Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₆H₁₆BrNO₄, the dihedral between the planes of the aromatic rings is 7.74 (18)°. The amide group is tilted with respect to the bromo- and methoxy-substituted aromatic rings by 36.3 (8) and 35.2 (8)°, respectively. The meta-methoxy groups are essentially in-plane with the aromatic ring [dihedral angles CH₃-O-C-C = -4.6 (4) and -2.5 (4)°]. The para-methoxy group is markedly displaced from the ring plane [dihedral angle CH₃-O-C-C = -72.5 (4)°]. The crystal packing is stabilized by N-HO hydrogen bonds linking the molecules into chains running along the b axis.
