In the title compound, C21H18N4O4, there is an intramolecular N-H...O hydrogen bond between the amino H atom and an O atom of the 2-nitro group of the adjacent benzene ring. The central benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 79.98 (7) and 82.88 (7)° with the two phenyl rings. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by weak C-H...N, C-H...O and C-H...[pi] interactions.
