Abstract: The title compound, C₂₀H₁₄N₄O₂, crystallizes in the orthorhombic system with a crystallographic twofold axis through the N-N bond. The molecule is non-planar and the dihedral angle between two amide groups is 74.9 (2)°. An intramolecular N-HN hydrogen bond is present. In the crystal, the molecules are packed in chains running along the c axis through intermolecular N-HO hydrogen bonds. These chains are further stabilized by intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds and C-H interactions leading to the formation of a three-dimensional network.
