In the title compound, C20H24N2O4, both peptide bonds adopt a trans configuration with respect to the -N-H and -C=O groups. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 53.58 (4)°. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. The crystal packing is characterized by zigzag chains of N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded mol-ecules running along the b-axis direction.
Keywords: N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds; crystal structure.
