N (1),N (4),3,6-Tetra­methyl-1,2,4,5-tetra­zine-1,4-dicarboxamide

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(8)H(14)N(6)O(2), contains two independent mol­ecules. In one mol­ecule, the amide-substituted N atoms of the tetra­zine ring deviate from the plane [maximum deviation = 0.028 (1) Å] through the four other atoms in the ring by 0.350 (2) and 0.344 (2) Å, forming a boat conformation, and the mean planes of the two carboxamide groups form dihedral angles of 10.46 (13) and 20.41 (12)° with the four approximtely planar atoms in the tetra­zine ring. In the other mol­ecule, the amide-substituted N atoms of the tetra­zine ring deviate from the plane [maximum deviation = 0.033 (1) Å] through the four other atoms in the ring by 0.324 (2) and 0.307 (2) Å, forming a boat conformation, and the mean planes of the two carboxamide groups form dihedral angles of 14.66 (11) and 17.08 (10)° with the four approximately planar atoms of the tetra­zine ring. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect mol­ecules to form a two-dimensional network parallel to (1-1-1). Intra­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds are observed.
