N-Phenyl-anthranilic anhydride.

The complete mol-ecule of the title compound, C(26)H(20)N(2)O(3), is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry, with the central O atom lying on the rotation axis. The conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. The dihedral angle between the inner and outer aromatic ring planes is 61.12 (5)°.
