2-Chloro-1-(3,3-dimethyl-2,6-diphenylpiperidin-1-yl)ethanone

Abstract

In the title compound, C21H24ClNO, the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. The two phenyl rings are inclined to one another by 20.7 (1)°, and are inclined to the mean plane of the four planar atoms of the piperidine ring by 87.64 (10) and 70.8 (1)°. The molecular structure features short intramolecular C—H...Cl and C—H...O contacts. In the crystal, there are no significant intermolecular interactions present.
