1-Chloroacetyl-2,6-bis(2-methoxyphenyl)-3,5-dimethylpiperidin-4-one

Abstract

The piperidone ring in the title compound, C23H26ClNO4, adopts a boat conformation with its two out-of-plane C atoms deviating by 0.597 (2) and 0.630 (2) Å from the least-squares plane of the rest of atoms in the ring. The two aromatic rings are roughly perpendicular to each other, making a dihedral angle of 75.1 (1)°, and a C—H...π intramolecular interaction is observed. The crystal packing is stabilized by a C—H...O intermolecular interaction, generating a chain with a C(9) motif along the a axis.
