Abstract: The title compound, C₂₄H₃₂N₂O₄, has a crystallographic inversion centre at the mid-point of the central C-C bond. At each end of the molecule, intramolecular O-HN hydrogen bonds generate six-membered S(6) ring motifs. The crystal structure is stabilized by pairs of weak intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds that link neighbouring molecules into R₂²(40) ring motifs, which in turn form infinite one-dimensional supramolecular ribbon structures.
