(S)-Methyl 2-benzamido-3-(3,4-dimeth­oxy­phen­yl)propano­ate

The dimethoxypbenzene ring in the title compound, C₁₉H₂₁NO₅, is gauche to the amide group and anti to the ester group. The chirality was confirmed to be S from two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. In the crystal, N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds and several short-contact inter­actions (2.07–3.45 Å) create chains parallel to [110]. The phenyl ring is disordered over two orientations in a 0.54 (2):0.46 (2) ratio.
