Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C34H31N3O2, consists of two independent molecules which differ slightly in the orientations of the phenyl rings with respect to the pyrrolidine ring. In both molecules, the piperidin-4-one ring adopts a chair conformation, whereas the pyrrolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation in one of the molecules and a twisted conformation in the other. An intramolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bond is observed. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds and C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions.
