N,N-(Ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(N-acetylacetamide) (cas: 10543-57-4) belongs to amides. The solubilities of amides and esters are roughly comparable. Typically amides are less soluble than comparable amines and carboxylic acids since these compounds can both donate and accept hydrogen bonds. Tertiary amides, with the important exception of N,N-dimethylformamide, exhibit low solubility in water. Ionic, or saltlike, amides are strongly alkaline compounds ordinarily made by treating ammonia, an amine, or a covalent amide with a reactive metal such as sodium.Electric Literature of C10H16N2O4

Comparison activating ability of three hydrogen peroxide activators was written by Guo, Sheng;Huang, De-Yi;She, Ji-Feng;Liang, Xiang-Qun. And the article was included in Advanced Materials Research (Durnten-Zurich, Switzerland) in 2013.Electric Literature of C10H16N2O4 This article mentions the following:

The bleaching efficiency of hydrogen peroxide can be promoted by using suitable activator. In our research, two methods were applied to compare the activating ability of three activators, TAED (tetraacetylethylenediamine), acetamide and dicyandiamide. The first part was hydrogen peroxide bleaching. TAED was excellent, because the brightness improvement was the maximum; the viscosity was acceptable. Acetamide was an applied activator in peroxide bleaching, for it could get same effects as TAED if the bleaching process had enough time and enough dosage. In the last part our study was about the kinetics of a lignin model compounds, acetovanillone, in peroxide-alone system, TAED/H2O2 system, acetamide/H2O2 system and dicyandiamide/H2O2 system. The rate constant, k and half-life period, t1/2 can be used to compare the rate of oxidation of acetovanilone. Compared to peroxide-alone system, three systems with activator and H2O2 could accelerate the reactions of hydrogen peroxide and acetovanillone. The t1/2 of TAED/H2O2 system was least of them. It was just 1/5 of t1/2 of peroxide-alone system, 1/4 of t1/2 of acetamide/H2O2 system and dicyandiamide/H2O2 system. The activating ability order of activators was: TAED> acetamide> dicyandiamide. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, N,N-(Ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(N-acetylacetamide) (cas: 10543-57-4Electric Literature of C10H16N2O4).
