2,6-Bis(3-fluorophenyl)-3-isopropylpiperidin-4-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C20H21F2NO, the piperidine ring in each of the two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit adopts a normal chair conformation with an equatorial orientation of the 3-fluorophenyl groups. The dihedral angles between the two 3-fluorophenyl rings are 49.89 (7) and 50.35 (7)° in the two molecules.
