Abstract
In the title compound, C15H14N2O5, the central amide C-C(=O)-N-C unit forms dihedral angles of 28.17 (13) and 26.47 (13)degrees with the two benzene rings, whereas the two benzene rings are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 4.52 (13)degrees. The two methoxy and the nitro substituents are almost coplanar with their attached benzene rings, with C-O- C-C torsion angles of - 1.3 (4) and - 4.6 (4)degrees, and anO-N- C-C torsion angle of 17.1 (3)degrees. In the crystal, molecules are linked via C- H center dot center dot center dot O and N-H center dot center dot center dot O interactions, forming a tape running along the b axis.
