N,N′-Bis(4-aminobenzyl)oxalamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C16H18N4O 2, the two carbonyl groups are in an antiperiplanar conformation with an O=C -C=O torsion angle of 173.86 (17)°. In the crystal, a pair of intermolecular N -H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming an R 2 2(10) ring motif, connect the molecules into an inversion dimer. The dimers are further linked by N -H⋯N and C -H⋯π interactions, forming a zigzag chain along the b axis.
