Abstract
In the title compound, C27H25NO, the piperidine ring adopts an envelope conformation with the N atom at the flap position. The two benzylidene-benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 8.5 (1)degrees. In the crystal, the molecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by pairs of intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds. The dimers are connected via C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions involving the phenyl rings.
