3,5-Dimethyl-2,6-diphenylpiperidine

Abstract

In the title compound, C19H23N, the piperidine ring has a chair conformation. The phenyl rings are inclined to one another by 52.76 (16)°. One of the methyl substituents on the piperidine ring is axial while the other is equatorial, like the phenyl rings. In the crystal, molecules are linked via C—H...π interactions, forming zigzag chains along [001].
