Abstract: In the title compound, C₂₀H₂₄N₂O₅, the dihedral angle between the two roughly planar salicylamide fragments [r.m.s. deviations = 0.043 (2) and 0.149 (2) Å] is 25.50 (5)°. The molecular conformation is stabilized by intramolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds involving phenol -OH groups and amide O atoms. Intermolecular hydroxymethyl-amide O-HO and amine-hydroxymethyl N-HO hydrogen bonds form infinite chains along the b axis. These chains are further interlinked by amine-amide N-HO and phenol-phenol O-HO interactions, thus giving layers parallel to (001).
