title: 1-(2-Chloro-acet-yl)-3-methyl-2,6-diphenyl-piperidin-4-one.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(20)H(20)ClNO(2), contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules of similar geometry. The piperidine ring adopts a distorted boat conformation in both mol-ecules, in which the N atom assumes an almost planar configuration.
