Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(18)H(18)N(2)O(2), consists of two independent mol-ecules, each of which is located about a center of inversion. The mol-ecules are not planar, showing dihedral angles of 55.84 (9) and 54.10 (8)° between the piperazinedione and the aromatic rings. The piperazine N atoms exhibit a planar configuration. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
