Article abstract of DOI:10.1023/A:1023248223359

The title compound (C₁₄H₁₁NO₂) is monoclinic with a = 13.579(2), b = 5.297(1), c = 16.455(2) A, β = 98.11(2)°, Z = 4, and space group P2₁/n. The significant structural features lie in the two carbonyl groups of the glyoxamide which are oriented antiperiplanar to each other [-163.6(3)°]. The central bond C(1)-C(2) is 1.545(4) A. The observed conformation is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds.
