Crystal stucture of methyl 2-({[2-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]carbamoyl}amino)benzoate

In the title compound, C17H16N2O5, the dihedral angles between the central urea [N—C(=O)—N] fragment and its attached benzene rings are 20.20 (14) and 24.24 (13)°; the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 42.1 (1)°. The molecular conformation is consolidated by two intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds, which both generate S(6) rings. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of C—H...O interactions generate R22(14) loops. The dimers are linked by further C—H...O interactions into (011) sheets
