1-Dichloroacetyl-t-3-isopropyl-r-2,c-6-diphenylpiperidin-4-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C22H23Cl2NO2, the piperidine ring adopts a twist-boat conformation. The phenyl rings substituted at the 2- and 6-positions of the piperidine ring subtend dihedral angles of 60.6 (2) and 84.2 (1)°, respectively, with the mean plane of the piperidine ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...O interactions into zigzag chains running along the c-axis direction.
