The title compound, C18H30N4O2, contains two tert-butyl urea groups, each connected to a benzene ring though a methylene group. One of the groups occupies a position almost normal to the aromatic plane with a C—N—C—C torsion angle of 94.4 (4)°, while the other is considerably twisted from the ring with a C—N—C—C torsion angle of 136.1 (4)°. In the crystal, pairs of molecules are connected to each other, forming centrosymmetric dimers in which two NH groups of one molecule act as hydrogen-bond donors to one carbonyl O atom of the other molecule. The dimers are linked into sheets parallel to (100) by N—H...O hydrogen bonds involving the remaining N—H and C O groups.
