N-[(1-Benzoylpiperidin-4-yl)methyl]benzamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C20H22N2O2, the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. The phenyl rings are inclined to one another by 80.1 (1)° and make dihedral angles of 46.1 (1) and 40.2 (1)° with the mean plane of the piperidine ring. In the crystal, pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into inversion dimers. C—H...O interactions further link the molecules, forming a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
