3,3-Dimethyl-cis-2,6-di-p-tolyl-piperidin-4-one

Abstract

In the title mol-ecule, C21H85NO, the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. The benzene rings and one of the methyl groups attached to the piperidine ring have equatorial orientations. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 72.53 (9)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N- H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Weak C- H⋯π inter-actions involving the benzene rings are also present in the crystal structure.
