title: rac-N,N'-Dimethyl-N,N'-(1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-di-yl)diformamide.
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(24)H(20)N(2)O(2), lies on a twofold rotation axis that relates one 2-(N-methyl-formamido)-naphthyl unit to the other. The N-methyl-formamido substituent is twisted by 54.9 (1)° with respect to the naphthalene fused-ring system; the two fused-ring systems are themselves twisted by 70.3 (1)°.
