Methyl ({[(4E)-1,3-dimethyl-2,6-diphenylpiperidin-4-ylidene]amino}oxy)acetate
Abstract
In the title compound, C22H26N2O3, the piperidine ring exhibits a chair conformation. The phenyl rings attached to the piperidine at the 2- and 6-positions have axial orientations. These rings make a dihedral angle of 49.75 (11)°. The aminooxy acetate group attached at the 4-position has an equatorial orientation. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of C—H...π interactions occur.
