3,4,5-Trimeth-oxy-N-(2-methoxy-phen-yl)benzamide.

In the title mol-ecule, C(17)H(19)NO(5), the amide plane is oriented at an angle of 41.5 (3)° with respect to the 2-methoxy-benzene ring. The three meth-oxy groups lie almost in the plane of the aromatic rings to which they are attached [C-O-C-C torsion angles of of 0.7 (4), -13.4 (4) and 3.1 (4)°], whereas the meth-oxy group at the 4-position of the 3,4,5-trimethoxy-benzene ring is nearly perpendicularly oriented [C-O-C-C torsion angle of 103.9 (3)°]. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along [001].
