The P atom in the title molecule, C12H26N3OP, has a distorted tetrahedral configuration: its bond angles lie in the range 101.1 (2)–119.1 (2)°. The P—N bonds to the two cyclopentylamido moieties are significantly different [1.619 (4) and 1.643 (4) Å], with the shorter bond related to an anti orientation of the lone electron pair of the corresponding N atom relative to the P=O bond. The O atom of the P=O group acts as a double hydrogen-bond acceptor and is involved in two different intermolecular N—H...O(P) hydrogen bonds, building R22(8) rings that are further linked into chains along [001].
